Work Experience 15/25/35 (From 3-30 Credits)
Prerequisite: HCS 3000
Work experience allows students to gain practical knowledge, enhance their skills, confirm career decisions, and form attitudes that will
assist them in their transitions from school to the world of work. Students in grade 10, 11 and 12 can enroll. The prerequisite course HCS
3000 (Workplace Safety Systems) must be completed before any off-campus education credits will be awarded. Existing part-time jobs may
be eligible as a work experience placement provided the student can demonstrate new learning is occurring.
Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP)
Prerequisite: HCS 3000
The Registered Apprenticeship Program is an excellent opportunity for students who know they want to enter a trade to “earn while you
learn.” This program usually begins during the summer after the grade 10 school year. The student selects a trade and is placed into a 125
hour work experience (5 credits) which serves as a probationary period. Successful students are then indentured and can earn up to 40
Registered Apprentice credits toward graduation. The student’s timetable is adjusted to accommodate the RAP program. By graduation
the student can have completed the hours needed for the first year of an apprenticeship and be ready to apply for the training weeks at a
post-secondary institution.
