The Government of Ontario has recognized the urgent need for additional personnel in the healthcare sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic, by way of qualified & trained Personal Support Workers. Ontario has set up the PSW Challenge Fund which will provide $86 million to train up to 8,000 personal support workers (PSWs) at accredited schools across the province. Learn how you can become a PSW for free at KLC College!

 

1. Why Become a Personal Support Worker?

Not only are they in-demand during the pandemic, but PSWs are trained in a field that is always in need of new hires. The types of employers includes hospitals, care homes, and more – ensuring that this field of study is a lucrative one.

2. What Does the Government Pay For?

The Ontario government is covering the entirety of your tuition as a bursary, not a loan, meaning you do not have to pay back your fees. Covered in this cost includes:

• Up to $7,500 for tuition, books and other relevant mandatory fees
• Up to $5,735 to cover costs for your clinical work placement

3. What Do I Do Next?

This funding is only available for students applying to a PSW program that starts between May 1 and July 31, 2022 – so we encourage you take any of the following steps:
