The groundbreaking 2023 edition of the Caregiver Conference, marked a significant milestone. Tailored to address the specific needs of university students, who constitute a substantial portion of caregivers in the province, the conference collaborated with Memorial University's Career Development Office and Key Assets NL, a family-based care agency, to bring this impactful event to life. The event catered to both aspiring and existing caregivers and provided comprehensive information on caregiver certification, application processes, on-the-job experiences, job description and the broader significance of caregiving often not given pre/post-application.
