Pathway Apprenticeship • An Apprenticeship program involves periods of work with a certified tradesperson and some time in the classroom. • You must be 16 years of age and have at least Grade 10 – but the “Grade 12 Diploma is requested by all employers”. • If you are attracted to money, consider the costs of university/college vs an apprenticeship. • Go to the Ministry Office for general info

  13. (Private Training Colleges) • Some programs are entered after high school with or without a diploma. i.e. hairdressing, air traffic controller, esthetician, secretary, ESL Teacher, etc. Some help with apprenticeship career tracks, but not always. • Many of these programs advertise through newspapers, television, and phone books. • The Guidance Office has some Private Training Colleges resources.

  15. College and University Pathway A few last comments: • Budget your post-secondary schooling with your parents. • OSAP applications open in spring. Earlier you apply the better, but there is no hard ‘deadline’. • Pay attention to the conditions of your offer. • Find out about supports at your school!

  16. Conclusion • Communicate with School Liasions • Talk to Guidance, Teachers, Parents, etc. • Hand in the Grad Surveys on your way out. Have a Plan!
