Dual Credits Programs
Dual Credit Courses…
• are for Grade 11 & 12 students

school, to take college or apprenticeship
courses which count towards both the high

Ontario Youth
Apprenticeship Program
• Apprenticeship is hands-on training for people
who enjoy "learning by doing”
• 90 per cent of apprenticeship training occurs
at the workplace with 10% in a classroom
setting at a local community college/approved
training facility
• Everyone benefits from apprenticeship
training. Employers gain increasingly skilled
workers who help keep their business
competitive. Apprentices receive training while
they earn a wage
• Apprenticeships are approximately 3 to 5 years
in length, and vary from trade to trade
