Which OYAP program is right for you?
GRADE 11 & 12 OPTIONS
I want to see if I like working in the skilled trades and get some experience where I learn from a qualified tradesperson. This is a great place to start your journey.
I’m not sure what trade I want to work in but I think it’s one in the construction industry. I’d really like to try them all out for a couple of weeks at a time on a construction site and see which one is for me.
I’m not sure what trade I want to work in but I think it’s one in the transportation industry. I’d really like to try them all out for a couple of weeks at a time and see which one is really for me.
I would still like to be in a school environment but I’d also like to spend time with a tradesperson fixing schools and getting a feel for what working in the trades is like.
GRADE 12 OPTIONS
Focused Apprenticeship Skills Training
I want to graduate with the new OYAP FAST diploma that lets employers know I’ve spent a lot of time gaining experience in the trades. I am incredibly prepared to become an apprentice.
I want to start my apprenticeship while I’m still in high school. I’ll learn on the job from a licensed tradesperson. I’d also like to go to College or a Union training centre to get my Level 1 training in the trade that I am sure I want to pursue.
I want to go to a Technical High School and get more credits towards graduation. I’d be learning about the trade that I’m really interested in from a licensed tradesperson as well as some time spent learning on the job at a co-op placement.
Still unsure?
Maybe this will help.
