provides students with a head start in skilled occupations!
What
is OYAP?
The
Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program enables students to learn a skilled
trade while completing the requirements for their Ontario Secondary School
Diploma (O.S.S.D.). By participating in this program, high school students
get a head start on their desired apprenticeship. The partnership involves
a student who wants to learn a skilled trade, the school cooperative education
teacher who arranges and monitors the placement, an employer who provides
the training and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities which
administers and regulates the program. OYAP integrates in-school learning
through Technology, Math, Science and English courses with practical experience
obtained through Cooperative Education placements.

there is no guarantee that employers will agree to accept students as
apprentices. Students must develop a positive working relationship with
employers before they would be willing to accept students as apprentices.
