Personal Support Worker Program Overview

This program is designed as a single training program that replaces and consolidates HealthCare Aide and Home Support worker training. This program delivers a solid educational base to workers who provide long-term care and support service in both institution and community settings.

Personal Support Workers are an important part of the health care team. The Personal Support Worker Program enables you to develop skills required to provide personal support services to clients and their families, clients and residents in the community, at home, in hospitals and in long-term care facilities.

Career Opportunities

The employment outlook will be good for Personal support workers, and related occupations (NOC 4412) in Ontario for the 2019-2021 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

  • Employment growth will lead to several new positions.
  • ​Several positions will become available due to retirements.
  • ​Current demand.

The majority of these workers are employed in the health care and social assistance sector, including individual and family services, home health care, hospitals, nursing homes and residential care facilities. The private household sector is another key employer.
The personal and health care needs of an aging population will be a strong driver of employment for Personal Support Workers, . The increase in life expectancy will improve employment opportunities for this occupation as the number of patients and clients requiring their services will grow.
Demand for this occupation is also heavily dependent on provincial funding for health care and social assistance services. Ontario is targeting funding for home and community-based care, a move that should improve job prospects.
Through the Direct Funding Program, eligible clients with a physical disability are able to hire their own attendants, and this opens employment options for these workers.
As per stats Canada data approximately 3 million people—16.4 percent of Ontario’s population—were seniors aged 65 and up as of 2016, and that percentage is expected to increase to 25 percent by 2041
