Vancouver Career College

Community Health Care Worker

If you are looking for a career in health care where you can offer support to the elderly, disabled, or injured, the Community Health Care Worker training program at Vancouver Career College is perfect for you. The opportunities within this field are excellent as it is one of the fastest growing fields in health care. This is due to an aging population and a shift to more in-home and nursing home health care services. Vancouver Career College's training, combined with the practicum, will provide you with the knowledge and confidence needed for a career in care giving.

You will learn the role, scope of practice, and responsibilities of a nursing assistant and health care worker. You will be introduced to the history of social service work, focusing on the transition from institutionalization to community integration. Community Health Care Worker training introduces wellness and its relationship to a healthy lifestyle. This program also teaches you about disorders commonly found in the school system. You will develop a thorough understanding of physical, social, and emotional growth from infancy to old age.

You are required to complete a three week practicum in the community and a four-week practicum in a long-term care facility. This provides you with practical, hands-on experience. Combine this with your learned skill set and you will find yourself with tremendous career opportunities. You can start a career as a long-term care aide, home support health care worker, resident care attendant, nurse's aid, or special needs assistant.

This is the fulfilling career that you are looking for, and there is no better time than today to join the health care sector.
