ABOUT PREP LTC
The Preceptor Resource and Education Program in Long-Term Care (PREP LTC) will provide Ontario long-term care (LTC) homes with online education and mentoring to equip them with the necessary skills to support positive and successful clinical placements and build capacity for student mentorship. Funding is also provided for preceptors’ time supporting personal support worker and nursing student placements.

Students will graduate with the training and experience needed to pursue a rewarding career in LTC, growing a much-needed highly-skilled workforce for the sector.
