High School Apprenticeship

High School Apprenticeship Program (hsap.ca)

Students can start an apprenticeship program while in high school. It links high school instruction with paid, on-the-job apprenticeship training. Students need a qualified employer who will hire them and train them as an apprentice. Apprentices will earn one credit for every 110 hours of training, to a maximum of eight. On-the-job hours can be flexible to work around school schedules. Training time can include evenings, weekends, and school breaks. The High School Apprenticeship Program is an excellent way for students to increase their employability skills and trade knowledge.

For more information, talk to your school guidance counsellor or contact the High School Apprenticeship Instructors. Contact Reg Toews at 204-304-0985 – [email protected]  or Andy Reimer at 204-319-0711 – [email protected].

 Highlights of the High School Apprenticeship Program for students:

· Earn up to eight grade 12 credits for graduation.

· Be paid at least 10% more than minimum wage.

· Some Post-secondary apprenticeship training fees may be waived.

· On-the-job hours will be applied to Level 1 apprenticeship training after graduation.
