Two new medical lab programs in Northern Ontario are eligible for stay and learn grants.
The province has announced it involves students in the medical lab technology program at Canadore College and the medical lab science program at Confederation College, in Thunder Bay.
“Through the Ontario Learn and Stay Grant, our government is bringing highly skilled health-care workers to communities and families that need them most,” says Nolan Quinn, Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security. “With two new OLSG-eligible medical laboratory programs in Northern Ontario, we’re removing financial barriers to help passionate, dedicated students pursue a world-class education, while connecting more people to high-quality care in their community.”
Students will be able to have their tuition, books and other educational costs fully covered if they commit to working in Northern Ontario after graduation.
The province says this further bolsters Ontario’s highly skilled health-care workforce in the North, helping more people connect to care, close to home.
Both programs begin welcoming students this fall.
