“I really love what I do. I work full time for a CLSC and see about five
clients a day. The work is rewarding and it means so much for the client
and their family.”
— Joanne Shipley, graduate
“After working for a few years as a health-care worker, I continued to train to become
an RN. Homecare allowed me to see that I like health care and I knew I would like
nursing.”
— Kim Tannahill, graduate
"Having recently retired after 30 years of work in a manufacturing plant, I wanted to
study in a field that would allow me to remain active while helping people. This is
why I took the course in home health care. The teachers understood that I had not
been a full-time student in over three decades and they were there to help me when
needed concerning both the theory and the practical aspects of the course. I am very
happy with my experience, the end results and the fact that I obtained my
professional certificate."
— Gilles Forget, graduate
