This Program is ideal for entry-level career, non-probationary employees interested in advancing within a healthcare environment.

Participants must be nominated by their current supervisor using the SAW Nomination Form, and pass a reading comprehension assessment.   To successfully graduate, selected employees must complete the full six-month program.
