In Grade 11 and/or 12, you can explore a carere opportunity at a co-operative education placement. You may begin your apprenticeship in any of the skilled professions by registering to a training agreement/contract in either grade. In addition, you can apply to a centrally-co-ordinated program in Grade 12 that will provide industry-recognized instruction and prepare you for employment in one of seven occupations: General Carpenter, Drywall and Acoustical Applicator, Cook, Automotive or Truck and Coach Technician, Network Cabling Specialist, Child and Youth Worker, and early Childhood Educator. These intensive programs are usually 4-credits in nature and are offered in Semester II.
