Making My Way- How I got involved in elder care

Throughout high school, Andrea wasn't sure which career path she wanted to take and often felt estranged from friends with clear career goals. With such a gentle, kind and compassionate heart it's no wonder her co-op placement, at Sunrise Senior Living, turned out to be a perfect fit. Though Jessica has gained several years of hands-on experience in elder care, she plans to attend college and university to further her academic knowledge of gerontology.

Andrea's story is part of a new program through the Peel District School Board called Making My Way. This program helps teens discover their true passion and make career choices. For more information about career paths visit makingmyway.ca
