HEALTH CARE ACCESS PROGRAM (HCAP) – Back by Popular Demand
MEMO
Date: March 21, 2022
To: All Menno Place Team Members
Re: HEALTH CARE ACCESS PROGRAM (HCAP) – back by popular demand
Menno Place is pleased to announce that we have again been approved for Health Care Support Worker (HCSW) full time positions fully funded by the Government of British Columbia’s Health Career Access Program (HCAP). This program was developed in response to the urgent staffing needs across long-term care and assisted living sectors in BC.
The HCAP program works like a co-op – successful candidates work at the site and go to school for the HCA program at the same time. This is a temporary position when, once completed, the person graduates with their HCA certification.
The HCAP education and training program takes approximately 12-18 months to complete. It provides an opportunity for individuals to receive paid employer-sponsored training leading to the HCA credential. The candidate must make a 12-month commitment to the employer to work as a HCA at the site once they have graduated from the program. To enroll in the program and find out more go to: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/economic-recovery/work-in-health-care#HCAP
Menno Place has received approval for 4 candidates for Menno Home, 3 candidates for Menno Hospital and 2 candidates for Menno Apartments – Assisted Living. Watch for these postings going up Tuesday March 22, 2022.
