The two-semester Personal Support Worker (PSW) program teaches students the skills required to provide or assist with personal care for the elderly, the chronically ill, and persons with accessibility challenges. These patients may live in the community, in long-term care facilities or select ambulatory care settings. Courses focus on the skills and abilities needed to create a climate that promotes the optimal physical, social, and emotional well-being of each client.

As a student in the Personal Support Worker program, you will learn how to practice as a member of an interprofessional healthcare team through a variety of clinical placement experiences. These experiences will include supervised placements in institutional and community settings and an interprofessional Simulation Centre experience.

What You’ll Learn

  • Work within the personal support worker role in the community, retirement homes, long-term care homes, and/or hospital care settings by all applicable legislation and employer’s job description, policies, procedures, and guidelines.
  • Act responsibly and be accountable for your actions while recognizing the boundaries of knowledge and skills within the personal support worker role that require collaboration with the clients, families, supervisors, and/or other members of the interprofessional care/service team.
  • Participate as a member of the interprofessional care/service team and maintain collaborative working relationships in the provision of supportive care in the community, retirement homes, long-term care homes, and/or hospital care settings.
  • Provide client-centered and client-directed care that is based on ethical principles, sensitive to diverse client and family values, beliefs, and needs, and follows the direction of the plan of care/service plan.

I enrolled in the Analytics for Business Decision Making course at George Brown College in 2021, hoping to gain the skills necessary to thrive in the rapidly growing field of data analytics. While the course provided a foundational understanding of data analysis and business decision-making, I found the content to be somewhat lacking in depth and relevance to the current job market.

The course covered basic concepts in data analytics, including data processing, statistical analysis, and data visualization. It also introduced tools like Excel and SQL, which are essential for any data analyst. However, the curriculum felt outdated and did not delve deeply into more advanced and industry-relevant tools and techniques such as Python, R, or machine learning algorithms, which are highly sought after by employers today.

While there were some hands-on projects, they were often simplistic and did not simulate real-world business problems effectively. The lack of exposure to complex, real-life datasets and scenarios meant that the practical skills gained were not useful at all.
