Alternative Cooperative Education Experiences
Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program ( OYAP)
Students who participate in this program obtain both apprenticeship hours and high school credits at the same time. The program allows secondary school students to get a head start on earning hours towards their apprenticeship.
Students who are interested in participating in apprenticeship education should explore technological education courses offered throughout the DSBN. To participate in OYAP, the student will need to take Cooperative Education in their senior years. If the employer and student agree, the Training Consultant from the Ministry of Education and Training may sign the student to an apprenticeship at any time during the Co-op placement.
Students who are at least 16 years of age and have completed the credit requirements for Grade 10 or equivalent will qualify for the program.
