This significant investment in the PREP LTC and Learn and Earn will further expand these programs’ profound impact on long-term care across Ontario. By expanding training opportunities and supporting workforce growth, we not only enhance quality of care for residents but also empower individuals to build fulfilling careers in this vital sector. These programs represent a meaningful step towards a stronger, more resilient long-term care system where quality of life for residents is maximized. The PREP LTC program is led by the Ontario Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care (Ontario CLRI) at the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA) and supported by the Ontario CLRI teams at Baycrest Academy for Research and Education and Bruyère Health Research Institute.
We’re investing nearly $17 million this year to expand programs to grow the long-term care workforce. This includes the Preceptor Resource and Education Program for Long-Term Care and the PSW Learn and Earn Accelerated Program at Humber Polytechnic. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eJAYYdrX
