The number one question Drake Medox College advisors are asked is “will I get a job after graduation?”
We understand that although students may come to us for industry leading training and education, what they really want and expect is a good job after they achieve their diploma.
So, why are Drake Medox Health Care Assistant grads able to secure jobs in the field at a consistent rate of 97%?
Dear Readers,
On March 16th, we were honored to host graduation for over 150 Health Care Assistant, Community Support Worker and Activity Assistant graduates and their families and friends. What an amazing celebration for all in attendance!
Our valedictorians Christina and Harsharan shared inspiring messages of their own personal journeys, and how proud they were to achieve this new milestone with their classmates.
Our Commencement speaker was Mr Daniel Fontaine, CEO of BC Care Providers Association. He welcomed our recent graduates to the industry, and reassured everyone that the job demand today is very strong, and will continue to grow in the years ahead.
All indicators are pointing in the same direction….
I immigrated to Canada with my family in hopes of a seeking a better quality of life. Growing up my parents always encouraged me to seek out higher education to ensure that I could have a bright future. So when my mother graduated from Drake Medox as a Health Care Assistant, she persuaded me to look in to the programs offered at the college. That’s when I stumbled upon the Community Support Worker Program, which sparked my interest. At that time I had no clue what the role of a CSW would entail so I continued to do research and found that many of my prerequisite courses for Psych Nursing correlated with CSW. This interested me because I knew that an investment in this program could help me towards my future career goals.
One of the biggest obstacles faced by many who want to attend a college such as Drake Medox is the financial investment required to enroll. Many people have heard about Government Student Loans, but are not sure how it all works, or even if they qualify. Here is some basic information provided by one of our Financial Advisors Kunqi based on the questions she is most frequently asked.
