HALIFAX – To meet the growing needs of the province, the Government of Nova Scotia’s Department of Senior and Long-Term Care has committed to funding the training of Continuing Care Assistants. Students will receive free tuition while they train for a rewarding and in-demand career in the healthcare field. Eastern College’s Continuing Care Assistant program is well suited to training students, as it equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to make a difference in the lives of their clients each and every day. Over the course of 44 weeks, students learn about concepts such as Body Mechanics, Palliative Care, and Care Setting Management. Students also complete an 11-week internship so that they graduate with practical, hands-on skills and experience.
