Student Success Story
After graduating from a bachelor of social work program I found myself desperately searching for work in an over saturated workforce. That’s when I decided to pursue my Personal support worker diploma from Trios. Knowing that this field was in high demand, I set my sights on my new career. 8 short months later, I took my NACC exam and one week later I was able to land a job working with a community care agency. Trios opened so many new opportunities for me and for that I am truly grateful.
