Lunch + Learn: Reducing Barriers to Recruitment for Health Care Assistants

Members of BC Care Providers Association are encouraged to register for our upcoming Lunch + Learn session on Reducing Barriers to Recruitment for Health Care Assistants.

Choose2Care, a program under Health Match BC, launched in 2019 through partnership with the provincial government, employers, educators, and industry associations. The purpose of Choose2Care is to increase public awareness of the Health Care Assistant profession and to provide potential HCAs with the information they need to train, register, and become employed in BC.

The Health Care Assistant team also offers a suite of bursaries and stipends to financially support HCAs at different stages of their registration and employment processes. We welcome managers to join us and to learn more about the different registration pathways and related initiatives aimed to reduce barriers to recruitment of HCAs.
