CO-OP PLACEMENT

 

Students must complete a 2-credit co-op placement.  Because it is so difficult to fit a co-op placement into a regular time table, students are highly encouraged to consider summer co-op immediately after their grade 10 year.

 

Most students who have a part time job are able to earn their CO-OP credits at their workplace allowing them to earn money at the same time.

Please ask for details in Guidance.

SIX CERTIFICATIONS

 

Students will need to complete six certifications including CPR, First Aid and WHMIS. 

All certifications take place during the school day and are free.

Students will be informed of certification days well in advance.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Students will take part in field trips to ICT facilities.  Most trips will take place during the day.

 

REACH AHEAD OPPORTUNITIES

Students will visit ICT educational institutions and have access to students and professors/instructors.

 

SECTOR PARTNERED ACTIVITY

Students will create a real-world project with some guidance from sector professionals.  This will be done during one of our courses.
