Training for one of B.C.’s most in-demand professions is coming to Revelstoke and Vernon this January, in a special intake designed to make the most of �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College’s blended learning opportunities.

“The need for health care assistants across B.C. has never been greater. Join the frontlines and be a health-care hero for our most vulnerable citizens while also building a career for yourself,” said Sandra Hohmann, Recruiter, Interior Health.

The intake will feature OC’s signature hands-on learning in labs, allowing students to build their care skills in-person – while being protected with in-class protocols while in their home community. In addition to the hands-on instruction, students will cover theory in online classes.

“All of the components of the Health Care Assistant program are included in this hybrid delivery model, ensuring students gain hands-on experience that builds skills and confidence while they are kept safe during a pandemic,” said Monique Powell, Associate Dean of Science, Technology, Health and Social Development, �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College.

“Combining the theory allows us to expand the offering to more communities, which provides more support to health care in the �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College service region,” said Joan Ragsdale, Regional Dean Shuswap-Revelstoke, �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College.

An online Info Night is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 6:30 p.m. Parents and students can meet instructors, find out about various career opportunities and ask questions about the program.
