Aurora College will receive an expected $3.2M in government funding over five years to expand and enhance its Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate program. Aurora President Dr Angela James said that this funding will allow the college to increase the number of seats in the program and provide more student supports. “This five-year investment is a recognition of the important work that is done every day by Personal Support Workers and the critical need to increase the numbers of qualified Northerners in these roles,” said James. This funding announcement is part of a bilateral agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of Northwest Territories, which includes a $5.3M overall investment to support PSWs in NWT.
