No. The BEGIN program is intended only for PSWs and RPNs looking to expand their careers with new pathways in Ontario’s Hospitals, Primary Care, Long-term Care (LTC), and Home and Community Care (HCC) sectors. After program completion (last semester of your program), participants agree to commit to work full-time or 1500 hours for part-time employment in one of these four priority sectors for every academic year or portion of a year for which BEGIN funding was received.
