  11. DUAL CREDIT CHINOOK’S EDGE Dual Credit Programming What is Dual Credit? Dual credit allows high school students to earn credits in high school and college at the same time. Olds College and Chinook's Edge have offered dual credit by using CTS and college credit in welding, equine, carpentry, machining, fashion and landscape construction on-site, online, and in blended environments. Who is eligible? Grade 11 and 12 students are eligible for dual credit. Students need to be prepared for the expectations and rigors of a post-secondary course. Students interested in participating must be approved by their high school. Students then complete an application package, including a responsibility agreement and a written statement of intent. What courses will be available? In 2011-2012, we have tentative plans to offer courses in welding, machining, landscape construction, equine, and fashion marketing. Final course information and application packages will be available from your high school before the end of May for the first semester and before the end of November for the second semester.

  12. DUAL CREDIT CHINOOK’S EDGE CLC launches hairstylist apprenticeship 15 Feb The newest dual credit program has brought together new funding partners, business professionals and a full roster of eager students from throughout Chinook’s Edge, as the Community Learning Campus launches a Hairstylist Trade pre-employment apprenticeship program. “There has been a great deal of interest in this program and we were pleased to see it fill so quickly,” said Jean Madill, Executive Director of Campus Alberta Central, which is funding the pilot program. “Our mandate is to provide opportunities for adult learners throughout the Central Alberta region. We wanted to support the efforts to bring in this new opportunity for students to learn a trade, to determine if it is a viable program to offer to adult learners. Judging from the response so far, I would say the investment is a success.” Above-average growth is predicted in the hairstyling trade in the coming years, making job prospects attractive for graduates. Once they have completed the program, which utilizes a blend of online and hands-on training over two semesters, graduates will receive CTS credits through their high school and pre-employment trade credits through Olds College. http://www.chinooksedge.ab.ca/News.php?news_id=1684

  17. DUAL CREDIT CREDENTIALED PATHWAYS A pathway is a selection of courses to give students the opportunity to explore and acquire the attitudes, skills and knowledge for future careers that are relevant to their interests. Pathways can work toward goals that may include university, college, apprentice training, or moving directly into the workforce. Credentialed pathways are a series of specific courses selected to help the student achieve a credential or credit awarded by a recognized community or industry organization or post-secondary institution. This document has been provided to assist teachers in the delivery and completion of CTS credentialed pathways in Alberta schools. All credential/journeyperson opportunities are external to Alberta Education, and it is the responsibility of the student/teacher/school to ensure that the requirements of the credentialing organization have been addressed. http://education.alberta.ca/media/1238954/pathways.pdf

  18. DUAL CREDIT COURSE COMPLETION SUMMARY Note: Students may complete a course than once in a school year. There, the number of course completions may be inflated. “Course Completion” does not mean a student has passed a course. IT a student has a final mark on a record it is considered a completion.
