The PSW Challenge Fund Round 2 (2022)

After a very successful program launch in 2021, the Ontario Government recently announced the return of the Personal Support Worker Challenge Fund. The government of Ontario will be providing an additional $54.7 million in funding for 4,000 personal support worker (PSW) students enrolling at approved private career colleges. Again, Trillium College has been approved to provide training to these PSWs, the college is proud to provide the curriculum from the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC)

“We’re making it easier for more students to train as personal support workers at private career colleges to prepare them for critical jobs caring for some of the most vulnerable people as we build a more resilient and stronger health care system across Ontario.”
-Jill Dunlop, Minister of Colleges and Universities
