“I have always wanted to work in health care and help others,” shares Elizabeth.
“One day when I was in grade 12, I overheard someone talking about the HCAP program, and how it’s a great opportunity to [learn how to] help care for the people, including seniors, and I thought it would be a very rewarding experience. I didn’t have any previous experience working in health care, so I am grateful for the opportunity to have been accepted into the program.”
When you start a career in health care, there are many avenues to learn and grow, and many different pathways you can pursue. The HCAP program provides you with a solid foundation to working in the industry – the opportunities are endless!
“When I complete my training and education, I look forward to working with my team, getting to know my clients, and furthering my education to becoming a licensed practical nurse (LPN).”
