- Personal Support Workers (PSWs) are an integral part of the community, assisting with and improving the quality of life for individuals who require continuous care. As a PSW, your compassion and medical training will bring much needed support to patient care recipients and their families.

In fact, the Ontario government has budgeted $107 million towards hiring 2500 additional Personal Support Workers by 2011.
- Nursing homes and long-term care facilities have greatly increased which means a steady demand for skilled support staff. As a PSW you may also become a private contractor. Wherever you decide to work, as a qualified Personal Support Worker you’ll be in demand for your skills and expertise.
