The Program
The Health Care Aide - High School CTS Route is designed for high school students who wish to take the CTS health studies stream to complete the requirements for the Health Care Aide program.  RDC partners with high schools to offer the content from the HCA provincial curriculum that is not already part of the CTS health stream.  Students begin the program by registering for the CTS health Studies courses then register at RDC to take the additional courses to receive an RDC, HCA credential.  The program will prepare graduates to work in institutional and community settings.
