Certificate in Personal Support Worker (Southbridge)

Program Overview

A Personal Support Worker (PSW) is a key member of the healthcare team, providing both physical and emotional care to those who are most vulnerable. Being a PSW is an incredibly rewarding career, and requires someone who is caring, patient, supportive, and interested in helping others.

This Ontario College Certificate program prepares students to provide personal care and support services to individuals and families. Responsibilities of the Personal Support Worker may include assisting with home management, facilitating social and recreational activities, and promoting health and well-being with clients from all ages of the lifespan.

The program has been developed to meet the standards published by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. These standards reflect the increased pre-employment education and training required by Personal Support Worker graduates entering the increasingly diverse health and social care environment.
