Ontario Growing Its Long-Term Care Workforce

Ontario is investing nearly $17 million in two programs that will train 700 new personal support workers (PSWs) and nurses in long-term care in 2025. This investment builds on the success of these two programs that have already helped over 27,500 students’ complete placements in long-term care and upskilled more than 170 long-term care staff to become PSWs, as part of the government’s Your Health plan to recruit and retain tens of thousands of long-term care staff over the coming years.

These programs, together with other targeted investments and collaborations with postsecondary partners has helped hire, train and retain more than 24,000 PSWs and 3,000 nurse graduates since 2020.
