Course Description
Work Experience Program
Work Experience is an off-campus course where students can earn credits and marks. Qualifying students are supervised by our Work Experience Coordinator throughout the program while receiving training, guidance and evaluation from an employer.
Benefits of Work Experience
– Students can enter the program at any time of year in any grade, including summer school
– Both volunteer work hours and part-time employment count, which means that students can earn credits outside of regular school hours
– Students can earn up to 30 credits through Work Experience, and use up to 15 of those credits towards high school graduation requirements
– Employers recognize the value of the Work Experience program
– Marks from Work Experience can be used to apply for the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship
Registered Apprenticeship Program
The Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) provides students opportunities to explore a trade and begin post-secondary apprenticeship training–all while completing a high school diploma!
RAP allows students to:
– Work as an apprentice to earn credits toward a high school diploma (5 credits for every 125 hours of work, to a maximum of 40 credits or 1,000 hours)
– Accumulate hours toward a ticket in one of Alberta’s more than 50 designated trades
– Transition into a full-time apprenticeship program upon graduation
– Complete health and safety training
