Keyano College, a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada that can accept and enroll international students with a study permit, has announced that it will once again be offering the Health Care Aide program starting January 2022.
The Health Care Aide program is a 32-week course that prepares students to work in the industry with the extensive skill sets, knowledge, experiences, and attitudes they need to practice as Health Care Aides (HCAs).
Key Takeaways:
- Keyano College started accepting applications for its Health Care Aide Program for the Winter 2022 intake.
- Keyano College’s Health Care Aide Program is a 32-week course.
- The Alberta government will be investing in supporting home care, increasing health care capacity, and upgrading salaries for workers.
Considering the currently unregulated workforce that provides basic health services and support with daily living activities for clients who have medical conditions or major functional limitations, Keyano College has decided to reopen the program.
Last month, Premier Jason Kenney announced that the Alberta region would be investing $36 million in supporting home care. The investment from the Alberta Government is planned to both increase health care capacity and salary for workers.
HCAs play an important role in relieving the pressure on hospitals, especially during this time of pandemic.
According to Eli Ahlquist, the dean of Keyano College’s School of Health and Human Services, Health Care Aides have always been an integral part of the health care system. As the pandemic progresses, they are more critical than ever.
Keyano College has already started accepting applicants for the January cohort, designating Winter 2022 as its first intake.
