Saskatchewan is dramatically increasing educational opportunities for students and young adults interested in health careers.  An immediate initial investment of more than 5.5 million dollars will help create new post secondary training seats across several health care training programs.

Training programs that will expand beginning this fall include Medical Laboratory Assistant, Continuing Care Assistant, Primary Care Paramedic, Licensed Practical Nurse, Pharmacy Technician, Clinical Psychologist, Physical Therapist and Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor along with other out of province programs.  Post secondary institutions across the province including technical schools, regional colleges, Indigenous institutions and universities will support the expansion so students can study and work closer to home.  Saskatchewan students can access a variety of financial aid options to help support their educational journeys.  To find information on health care opportunities visit www.saskatchewan.ca/HHR.
