Interested in a career in a skilled trade? You’re in the right place! Students can become registered apprentices and work towards becoming certified journey persons in a skilled trade while completing their secondary school diploma.

- Enjoys working with your hands;
- Shows a strong work ethic;
- Likes working with the latest technologies;
- Demonstrates a courteous, positive, and responsible attitude;
