triOS College Enrolling New Students in Free Tuition Personal Support Worker Program

TORONTO – triOS College is pleased to announce that they are now enrolling new students in their Free Tuition Personal Support Worker (PSW) Program for classes starting as early as June 2022. In March of this year, the Ontario government announced financial assistance opportunities for Ontarians looking to pursue a Personal Support Worker (PSW) career. This $54.7 million funding is being made available to up to 4,000 new PSW students, who enroll at a participating career college between June 1 and September 30, 2022. Eligible students can receive up to $13,690 to cover their tuition, books, other mandatory fees, and a wage stipend for their clinical placement.

“We are excited to once again be a participating college in this year’s Ontario Government initiative to support increasing capacity within Ontario’s healthcare system,” said Stuart Bentley, President of triOS College. “We have trained and graduated thousands of PSW students into new careers and are thrilled to once again work with Long-Term Care and Home Care partners to provide students with practical hands-on training, knowledge, and experience to become job-ready graduates.”

triOS College’s 31-week PSW program will hone the clinical and administrative skills needed by PSWs. The program also includes a 12-week placement, where students will gain hands-on experience and be able to apply the principles and theories learned during the in-class part of their training. Plus, with triOS College, students can safely and conveniently attend online classes in the comfort of their own home — or wherever they prefer — then complete their placement in a participating long-term care facility in Ontario.

Aside from being a promising career in the continuously growing healthcare field, working as a PSW also gives students the freedom to select their workplace. Students can choose from working in a long-term care home, hospital, home care, or retirement home — or be their own boss as a self-employed worker and work at their client’s home.
