Celebrations were underway at the John M Parrott Centre this week, on the opening of the Personal Support Worker (PSW) Living Classroom training model, on site at the Home.
The PSW Living Classroom is a partnership between Limestone Community Education and Lennox and Addington County that integrates education into the John M Parrott Centre to support workforce development in senior living. Students, faculty, and those living, visiting and working in the home engage in a culture of shared learning.
The program is approximately 660 hours and a combination of theory, lab and clinical skills and placement experiences in community and long term care. Graduates have a 98% employment rate. The program intakes adult learners in September and February annually. Information sessions will begin in October for the next cohort set to begin in February 2025.
Funding is provided by the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging ("RIA") as part of the Ministry of Long-Term Care's Living Classroom Project.
