St. Lawrence College (SLC)About the
St. Lawrence College (SLC) is a College of Applied Arts and Technology with three campuses in Eastern Ontario, namely Brockville (1970), Cornwall (1968) and Kingston (founded September 1969). It is affiliated with private Alpha College of Business & Technology in Toronto and Canadian College in Vancouver.
Focus of Study : This Ontario College Certificate program prepares students using an integrated classroom model located onsite at Providence Care Hospital or Providence Manor, a long-term care home in Kingston, Ontario. This unique learning environment will help students to be well-prepared for a career as a Personal Support Worker and to provide safe and caring support services to clients. 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 of all ages of the lifespan. The program has been developed to meet the standards published by the Ministry of 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. Personal Support Workers are unregulated healthcare providers. They work as a member of the care and support team under the supervision of a regulated health professional or supervisor, or in the supported independent living environment, under the direction of the client.
Benefit, Goal of this course : The partnership between St. Lawrence College and Providence Care allows students to experience nearly all components of the program in a 'living classroom' environment. The living classroom model helps students to learn the necessary skills for safe practice as a Personal Support Worker and then allows supervised unpaid experiential learning with the residents. This approach helps students to build confidence in their skills and positive working relationships with clients.
