Bruno Irankunda – Health Care Assistant – Comox Valley

“I first learned about the Healthcare Assistant Program through Ocean Front village website in the career section where it was advertised. It immediately caught my eye as I had been seeking a career path that allowed me to directly help others, and the healthcare field resonated deeply with my desire to make a positive impact.

I am incredibly grateful for your generous funding, which made my participation in this program possible. Your support has been important in providing me with the education and training necessary to pursue a fulfilling career in healthcare. Without your contribution, this life-changing opportunity would not have been within my reach as I couldn’t afford the tuition fees by myself.

My experience in the Healthcare Assistant program with Discovery College Community (DCC) has been successful and transformative. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering essential skills such as patient care, vital signs monitoring, and infection control, all taught by experienced and dedicated instructors. The hands-on training in the college’s simulation labs provided a safe and practical environment to hone my skills. DCC fostered a strong sense of community and teamwork among students, preparing us for the collaborative nature of healthcare settings. This program has not only equipped me with the knowledge and skills to excel as a healthcare assistant but has also instilled in me a profound sense of confidence and purpose.”
