Shehnaz, Healthcare Assistant Program

My journey at Western Community College has been nothing short of life-changing. I completed my residential certification here, and my practicum experience at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver gave me hands-on exposure in both long-term and acute care settings. 

This profession is more than just a career—it’s a calling. It requires the right mindset, compassion, and dedication. At WCC, I found incredible mentors who guided and supported me every step of the way. Thanks to their training, I don’t have to look for jobs—jobs are looking for me! The demand for healthcare workers is high, and I feel proud to be in a field where I can make a real difference in people’s lives. 

From acute special care to extended care, I want to explore every area of this profession. The confidence I gained at WCC makes me feel ready to serve the community and grow in my career. The learning environment here is warm, supportive, and inspiring. I truly feel like I’ve achieved something great!”  Non eget semper mollis enim scelerisque malesuada eget.
