4 WHAT ARE APPRENTICESHIP & DUAL CREDITS? Apprenticeship is an education and training program for people who enjoy learning by doing and who want to work in the skilled trade professions. An apprentice is a person who is enrolled in a skilled trade profession for the purpose of learning the specific skills related to that profession. 90% of apprenticeship training is hands-on which employers provide at the workplace. 10% of apprenticeship training is classroom instruction which usually takes place at a community college or an approved training organization. An apprenticeship takes from 2-5 years to complete, depending on the profession. An apprenticeship is finished when the apprentice completes 100% of the education and training, both in class and on the job, and has passed an examination. The apprentice then receives a Certificate of Qualification which indicates that he/ she is now a skilled trade professional. Dual Credits were introduced to help secondary students complete their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and to successfully transition them into apprenticeship programs. The programs help to engage students, who are more successful when they see the relevance of what they are learning to their interests and future plans. These courses offer a two for one as apprenticeship students earn additional high school credits for successfully completing the Level 1 Apprenticeship training. For more information contact your high school. What is the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program? The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) is a special cooperative education program that promotes careers in the skilled trade professions to high school students. OYAP allows students to earn credits towards a high school diploma gaining knowledge and experience under the supervision of a skilled professional at their apprenticeship workplace. Also, for many specific careers, your school board offers a variety of Accelerated centrally coordinated OYAP programs.

5 SPECIALIST HIGH SKILLS MAJOR PROGRAMS A Specialist High Skills Major program is an excellent complement to the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, providing better preparation to students as they transition from secondary school to their chosen postsecondary destination. By participating in an SHSM program, OYAP students will gain additional experience in their chosen skilled trade. For example, SHSM programs afford more opportunities for transferable, sector-recognized certifications and training. OYAP students who are also enrolled in an SHSM program will benefit from a broader range of experiential learning opportunities, increasing the number of connections a student would make within their chosen industry. Students who participate in an SHSM program take part in a wide variety of reach ahead experiences providing greater exposure to a particular specialization. Employers will be pleased to note that SHSM students receive formal recognition for their participation in the program. Successful students are honoured with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma embossed with a red seal and an SHSM Record card outlining their achievements.
