Sheridan College - Hazel McCallion (Erin Meadows) - Mississauga

Founded in 1967, Sheridan has grown from a local college of 400 students to one of Ontario’s leading postsecondary institutions, educating approximately 22,500 full-time studies students every year on three campuses in three Ontario cities – Oakville, Brampton, and Mississauga. An award-winning institution, Sheridan attracts students from across Canada and around the world. Sheridan’s 215,000+ alumni play a critical role in shaping the future of society in the fields of arts, business, community service, health, technology, and the skilled trades.

Sheridan has partnered with Schlegel Villages (Village of Erin Meadows) for the Personal Support Worker program. The Erin Meadows location is a "living classroom" in that the program is delivered onsite at the Erin Meadows long-term care facility, giving students additional opportunities for hands-on learning. This is a unique chance to engage in an immersive, hands-on experiential learning environment along with Sheridan faculty and those living, visiting and working in the home.
