Personal Support Worker (PSW)

Program Overview

The NACC-approved Personal Support Worker Program is a certificate program approved under the Private Career Colleges Act, 2015. This program prepares graduates to provide supportive care to individuals across the lifespan by assisting them with their activities of daily living. Clients in your care may include those experiencing cognitive impairment, physical disability, and mental health challenges. Graduates typically find employment in a variety of care settings including community, retirement homes, long-term care homes, and hospitals.

Practical Internship Experience

Clinical placement provides students with an opportunity to practice their new skills in a work setting. While on placement, students gain experience in a wide range of PSW skills, become more self-confident, and in some cases receive offers of employment from the placement site. During clinical placements, students will spend time working in a facility, community agency, acute care facility and various other settings under the supervision of their instructor and under a preceptor provided by the host site.
