Ontario Training Thousands of New Long-Term Care Staff

The Ontario government has announced more than $100 million in two programs that will train more than 32,000 new personal support workers and nurses in long-term care over the next three years. These investments are a 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 investments include:

• $94.5 million over three years to extend the Preceptor Resource and Education Program for Long-Term Care (PREP-LTC).
• Nearly $11 million over three years to expand Living Classrooms, a program that helps students train to become PSWs on-site in local long-term care homes.
