SEIU Healthcare is a union of more than 67,000 frontline healthcare members. There is a health human resources crisis that continues to have an adverse impact on our members, healthcare operations, and those who receive care. We believe we have a shared interest in working together with employers, government, and other stakeholders to find real solutions to the crisis and have established the SEIU Healthcare Training Centre to create a new standard for workforce development that can build and maintain the high-quality sustainable workforce that Ontarians and their families need and deserve.

We have already made incredible progress. We have partnered with our union’s national labour management organization, the Healthcare Career Advancement Program, which represents more than 1000 employers and 550,000 workers throughout North America, taken concrete steps to become a licensed career college to provide vocational training and upward career mobility, partnered with employers to deliver impactful curriculum to address systemic problems, and created a career pathway program to expedite licensing of internationally educated nurses. We have also created our digital hiring hall that leverages the scale of our membership to provide employers with a well trained and trusted workforce as an alternative to the burden of costly temporary staffing agencies that continue to erode continuity and quality care.
