Classic OYAP.

Classic OYAP happens through co-operative education. It is a work placement in a skilled trade. Students can begin co-op as soon as they are 15 years of age and have 14 credits. Students wishing to work on a construction site must be 16 years old.

Spending time on the job learning from a qualified tradesperson is the best way to learn a trade. It is also a great opportunity to see if it’s really something you would like to commit to. The hours that you accumulate during your co-op placement can be counted towards your apprenticeship should you choose to continue.

Any student that is doing a co-operative education in a skilled trade must have a completed and signed OYAP Participant form.

What is Co-op?

Co-operative education (Co-op) is a structured way of learning that combines in-class learning with periods of actual work. This working experience is called a co-op placement. While on placement, you get to network with employers, gain valuable work experience in your chosen field, and earn academic credits that count toward your high school diploma!

How do I apply?

At course selection time be sure to select co-op and submit a co-op application at your school.
