The cooperative education program allows students to not only earn credits towards an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), but for those students interested in apprenticeship they can begin as early as Grade 11. This option serves students who have interest in a skilled trade, who are motivated, and who have built strong working relationships with their employer.
