Health Care Assistant Program Expansion

The Province is investing $48,000 at Northern Lights College to expand its health care assistant program.

This one-time funding will support six additional spaces in the health care assistant programs at Northern Lights College’s Fort St. John and Dawson Creek campuses in 2010-11. Health care assistant graduates will provide health care in a variety of institutional and community settings, including both home support agencies and residential care facilities.

Health care assistant graduates are trained to provide care that promotes and maintains the physical, emotional, cognitive and social well-being of clients.
