Employment Opportunities
Employment opportunities in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology in Saskatchewan are excellent, in part because there is no training program in the province. The number of employment opportunities have grown in recent years due to an increase in the aging population, lengthening life expectancy and growing public awareness of communication disorders. Some experienced clinicians choose to enter private practice.
According to Employment Canada's Job Futures report, job prospects are bright. "The growing trend to early detection and intervention in speech and hearing problems, the increase in the elderly segment of the population with chronic or rehabilitation needs as well as the increase in public acceptance of disabled persons have led to increased employment opportunities in the communication disorders field."
In Saskatchewan , Speech-Language Pathologists are employed by Saskatchewan Health, Public Health, Hospitals, Rehabilitation Centres, School Boards, and private practice clinics. Audiologists are employed by hospitals, the Saskatchewan Hearing Aid Plan and private practice clinics.
