Working as a home support worker in Canada after training
Many concerned Canadians and immigrants are looking for useful and in-demand jobs in Canada. How can you get a job?
Home support workers are similar to the work of a social worker or caregiver. It involves helping the elderly or people with health problems in their daily lives.
Workers help with meal preparation, feeding, accompanying to doctor's appointments and social events, reminding about medications, doing light housekeeping, etc.
There's a shortage of healthcare workers in Ontario. So the home health workers training program is helping to reduce the shortage and provide quality education for the next generation of healthcare workers through its fee-for-service training program.
The program offers:
- 3 weeks of paid in-person training in a virtual classroom;
- 5 weeks of paid mentoring;
- $18 CAD per hour during the internship;
- part-time or full-time employment;
- teacher support and guaranteed work.
The HWS program is supported by the Department of Labor, Immigration, Training and Development's Skills Development Fund. The government provides $200 million CAD.
