The George Tackaberry and Family Home, former Maple View Lodge in Athens, will receive funding for a new Living Classroom.
The joint funding agreement between St. Lawrence College and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, will see a unique approach to PSW education, which provides hands on training in long term care settings and exposure to day to day workings of healthcare environments.
The program will also see guaranteed employment for students who complete it successfully.
Funding for the Living Classroom will be received in the amount of $99,966.
The project construction is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2025.
