In an endeavor to support essential jobs in Vancouver, BC, The Government is Funding a Program to train Health Care Assistants (HCA) in August 2022. The program will make it accessible for students with no prior work experience to find a job in the health care sector.

Do you have a passion for helping others and want to enjoy working as part of a passionate team? Are you planning to pursue a career in health care? At Gateway College, we can help you get started on your education plan and assist you in achieving your career goals in a short period of time.

With the gradually easing public health restrictions enacted early in January, several colleges and universities are looking forward to welcoming students back in person and on campus.

While undoubtedly beneficial to our communities and your personal career prospects, becoming a qualified healthcare provider or nurse practitioner can be a stressful and complex journey. Similarly, knowing and understanding which program you should choose is critical to your long-term success, fulfillment, and happiness.

Health Care Assistants or HCA are the frontline care providers in various institutional and community settings. They play an important and unique role within the health care system, supporting patients in a variety of facilities, including retirement homes, hospices, group homes, and long-term care facilities.

Season’s Greetings from Gateway College. We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year 2022!

As most of the Canadian population is aging, there is an increased need for professional caregivers and health care support. Being a healthcare assistant is a rewarding career where you get the opportunity to help people with diverse healthcare needs. However, it’s important to choose the right healthcare college to ensure you’re equipped with the proper knowledge and experience working in a healthcare environment.
