Trillium Health Partners (THP) is once again proud to participate in the Ministry of Health's Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG) initiative for 2025/2026.

As part of the Ministry of Health's health human resources strategy, this initiative provides new graduate nurses in Ontario, including those who studied out-of-province and abroad, with temporary full-time employment above staffing complement for up to twelve (12) weeks. This initiative supports their successful transition into practice, ensuring they gain valuable experience and are well-prepared for their careers in healthcare.

The NGG initiative aims to:
• Support new nurses in Ontario as they transition into practice;
• Improve the integration of new nurses into the workforce;
• Promote the availability of full-time employment or the equivalent of full-time hours for new nurses; and
• Promote health workforce planning at the organizational level.

Trillium Health Partners supports participants in the NGG initiative by:
• Providing the new nurse with general orientation to the organization, allowing the new nurse to gain consistent knowledge on organizational practices, policies and standards;
• Ensuring that a mentor(s) is available to work with the new nurse and that there is a designated transition into practice leader who is accountable for implementing the NGG initiative and tracking the progress with the new nurse and mentor(s);
• Ensuring that a learning plan is developed by the new nurse and mentor;
• Meeting the goals of the learning plan by including a variety of teaching strategies and delivery methods to educate on competencies, as it relates to the area/unit of employment of the new nurse.
