Do You Know Students in Health that Can Benefit? | Faculty of Continuing Education and Training | Seneca Polytechnic

Students can enhance their career in Ontario’s health care sector with our specialized OSLT Health courses designed for professionals with experience or training in various health care roles, such as dental hygienists, nurses, and personal support workers. These courses, running from April to September 2025, will help build essential language and socio-cultural communication skills at an intermediate English level (CLB 6 -8).

The OSLT Health: Accessing the Health Care Job Market course (April 19 – May 30) will guide students through job search strategies, including researching labour market trends, analyzing job ads, and creating tailored applications. OSLT Health: Managing Health Care Interactions (June 7 – July 18) focuses on workplace communication, problem-solving, and managing patient interactions with confidence. Finally, OSLT Health: Communicating in the Health Care Sector (July 26 – Sept 5) will refine their skills in adapting communication for various cultural contexts and effective data collection.

Each course meets weekly on Zoom (Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8 p.m.), providing a supportive learning environment for their professional growth.
