College Apprenticeship Preparation Program (CAPP)
Conestoga currently offers secondary school Dual Credit students apprenticeship preparation classes in three trade areas: Automotive, Truck & Coach, and Welder. The courses offered in these areas have been selected in consultation with industry and employers as appropriate foundational courses, and are considered preparatory to pursuing an apprenticeship or related post-secondary program. CAPP is intended for students who want an opportunity to experience college “Trade School” and get a taste of post-secondary curriculum, without having to have a Registered Training Agreement with an employer.
To be successful, students should have some experience in their area of interest. This experience can include high school technology classes, a Co-op experience in a trade, work experiences, or in some cases their hobbies. In all cases, students in CAPP should have a clear focus on pursuing trade school or an apprenticeship.
*The main difference between CAPP and Level 1 has to do with preparation and experience (see Level 1 OYAP for more details).
