Lakehead District School Board

Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program


Description
School-to-work transition program offered through Ontario secondary schools
  • Students earn cooperative education credits through cooperative education work placements in skilled trades
Comments
OYAP is a Program that allows students to explore and consider careers in skilled trades as attractive, viable career options on a similar footing with other post-secondary pathways. The program also allows students to complete secondary school credits to obtain their OSSD. In Addition, participants that complete the workplace-based learning component may be recognized by MTCU as having completed a portion of the on-the-job training requirements of a formal apprenticeship.
Eligibility
Full-time or part-time high school students 15 years and older entering Grades 11 or 12
