Exciting opportunities for skilled trade apprenticeships are available through this program. This program is a unique combination of college trades training and a high school cooperative education work placement. Students are registered as apprentices and attend college 2 - 3 days a week to earn Basic Part 1 of their trade qualifications. The remainder of the week is spent at a work placement, with an employer, earning 3-4 high school credits and hours towards their apprenticeship requirements. This is a full day program for semester two only. Positions in this program are limited and available to students in their final semester of their graduating year. Candidates demonstrating the required competencies in Math, Science, English and Technological Studies will be selected for entry into the program by a panel of interviewers consisting of College and Industry. Transportation to the college is provided where possible. The cost of College training is absorbed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
