Building On Our Successes . . .

Specialist High Skills Major Program (SHSM) Recently launched by Government of Ontario. Encourages high school students to select a major in a skill

area and complete course work and practical experience in accordance.

Expand Concept to Next Level. Ensure course load creates full flexibility around eligibility for

university, college, apprenticeship or work: 1 path 4 destinations

Create trade and non trade majors. Trade majors utilize 3rd, 4th and 5th years of high school to allow

for close to 50% of required apprentice hours to be completed. Incorporate authentic/real life settings and tasks Develop a multi disciplinary reach

Manufacturing Construction IT Media Arts & Culture Business/Retail
