Apprenticeship

The High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) is all about on-the-job experience with an employer. HSAP provides practical, paid, work experience and credit towards your high school diploma. The purpose of HSAP is to provide an opportunity for early entry in the trades and build interest with youth. Students are then able to transfer their hours of HSAP on-the-job training after graduation to a Level one apprenticeship training program in any apprenticeship program. This program is ideal for students who: 

• Are currently working in the skilled trades • Are interested in a career in the skilled trades • Are enthusiastic about joining the workforce • Have a parent or relative currently working in the trades HSAP provides practical

HSAP provides practical, paid, work experience and the opportunity to: 

• Get hands-on experience • Earn up to 8 supplemental high school credits • Obtain financial incentives that cover tuition costs for post-secondary training • Avoid long wait times for post-secondary trade training • Apply your on-the-job training hours to continued, full-time apprenticeship training after graduation 

Students eligible for HSAP are: 

• 16 years of age or older • Currently enrolled in high school courses (academic or technical vocational stream) • Either employed in a qualifying trade (over 40 trades) or looking for employment • Have an employer who is willing to take them on as an apprentice
