Fraser Health: The Health Careers Access Program (HCAP) provides paid, employer-funded training for health care assistants to applicants with no health care experience.

Due to the shortage of healthcare support workers in Canada, Fraser Health has launched a funding program that gives you the opportunity to enter an exciting career in healthcare through the Health Careers Access Program (HCAP). The program is tuition-free and paid training is provided by the health authority.

What are the benefits of free healthcare support worker training through the Health Careers Access Program (HCAP)?

Paid training: Participants are able to receive a salary during training, which reduces the financial burden and allows them to support themselves while learning.

Employer funding: The cost of training is usually borne by the employer, which lowers the entry barrier for trainees and makes it possible for more people to participate.

Hands-on experience: Trainees gain practical experience during training, learn in a real healthcare environment, and improve their professional skills.

Career development opportunities: After completing the training, trainees are usually able to obtain a position as a healthcare assistant and have the opportunity to further their career.

Entering the healthcare industry: The program provides a clear pathway into the healthcare industry for people without a relevant background, increasing their employment opportunities.

Support and guidance: Participants often receive support and guidance from employers and training providers to help them make a smoother transition at the beginning of their careers.
