The Employment Skills Access Program
“I was very fortunate to receive funding from the ESA program to gain new skills, and I am now working for VIHA as a Medical Laboratory Assistant. My experiences with the staff at Camosun, VIHA, and Life Labs where I did my practicums were great. They were very informative, helpful and caring.”
Alyshia finished her Camosun ESA program in April and began her new career with VIHA in May.
