“The work experience component of this sponsorship had a profound impact on my education at NSCC. It provided me with opportunities to apply my classroom knowledge and skills to real-world settings, where hands-on experience is crucial for my development as a healthcare provider. The financial support eases some of the financial burdens I face as a student, giving me the freedom to dedicate more time to my coursework, clinical placements and skill development.”
