Are you a Hidden Apprentice?
Do you qualify to………
RECEIVE $1000 CASH? GRADUATE EARLY? BE FAST-TRACKED TO A TRADE?
If you are a secondary school student working in a trade area, (there are 110 recognized trades) you may already be eligible to become a secondary school apprentice or you may be interested in getting started.
Youth Work in Trades involves part-time work within a trade – something you may already be doing on weekends and school holidays. The program provides a smooth transition from school to work, and a quicker route to certification in a trade – and to the earning power that goes with it. You can begin your apprenticeship as early as Grade 10.
By registering in a Youth Work in Trades program, you will be able to receive ‘Dual Credit’ for the work you are already doing and get a head start on earning your trade certification; you also may be eligible for a $1000 cash Scholarship. “Dual Credit” means simultaneously receiving both secondary school credits (up to four courses; 16 elective credits) required for graduation and credit toward completion of an apprenticeship. As an added bonus, secondary school apprentices may qualify for a $1000 cash scholarship.
By participating in the program, you will be ahead of your peers in a career in the trades, possibly graduate early and become $1000 richer (If you grad with C+ average or higher).
You could also pursue Level 1 Trades Training (with Free Tuition) at Riverside College.
In the labor market, there is a skilled trades shortage. Employers need young people with the right skills, right now! There’s never been a better time to explore a career in the skilled trades and technology sectors. There are over 110 trades recognized in BC.
If you are a secondary school student, or an employer willing to hire a student, and want to find out more about the Youth Work in Trades Program,contact Mrs. Chezzi, Work Experience/Youth Work in Trades Program Coordinator at Mission Secondary & Riverside College, Mission Public Schools (604-826-7191 Local 1132) or email Carolyn Chezzi.
