Celia B.
Graduate 2006
"I came here from the UK 1 year ago. I attended the Drake Medox College RCA/CHW Diploma Program to increase my knowledge and skills in this caring profession. I thoroughly enjoyed the learning process. I found the theory sessions/modules very informative, useful, and enjoyable. The 5 week practicum experience was interesting and I learned to use specialized equipment and apply my theory training on wonderful Resident's. I found the teaching staff very helpful and supportive. I would recommend this program to anyone, thank you Drake Medox College."
After Graduation
We Take the Fear out of Graduating
Ask yourself, "What is the number one concern that people have when they graduate from a training program?"
"Will I be able to get a good job where I will be happy and well-paid? Or will I be able to get a job at all?"
DRAKE MEDOX COLLEGE GRADUATES GET JOBS! When you go through a Drake Medox College program, you will take part in an in-depth "Job Seeking Skills" training module, which provides students with an opportunity to practice interviewing skills through role play and mock interviews. Each student prepares a completed résumé, learns key job-finding techniques, and receives a documentation checklist which is needed to facilitate their job application process. However, this is really just given as background training to make you a better all-around professional. Remember, with our program, there is NO FEAR because you are GUARANTEED a job offer when you graduate. Nobody else with a similar program offers this in Vancouver!
And on top of that, if you decide you want to look for work in other parts of the healthcare system not covered by our sister company, Drake Medox Health Services, our Project Healthcare Employment Program is available for you to participate in. Because we are so thoroughly integrated into the entire healthcare services community, we know all the right people to call, and because the Drake Medox College program is so highly respected by healthcare service providers, you are well positioned to land the job you want! You will be able to find openings in home support agencies, intermediate and extended care facilities, special care units for persons with dementia, adult day centres, and private homes. Healthcare employers are calling us and seeking our grads. We will notify you via email of all active job postings.
And remember, Resident Care/Community Health is a growth market because the population is aging. According to the Working in Canada Report (www.workingincanada.gc.ca) employment prospects for this field are good and job demand will be in excess of job seekers from 2009 - 2018.
