Apprenticeship in Your School

There are two ways to offer or prepare for Apprenticeship Training in your school.

• High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP)
• Vocational Programs
• Accredited Program Listing
• Getting Trade Programs Accredited In Your School
  

High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP)

The HSAP works with high schools in order to encourage students begin their apprenticeship training while they are in high school. It combines regular high school instruction with paid, part-time, on-the-job training. Students can earn up to 8 supplemental academic credits for graduation based on 110 working hours per credit.

For counsellors assisting in the placement of students in the High School Apprenticeship Program, review HSAP section in Applications & Forms.

For more information & student requirements, see the section on HSAP.

Vocational Programs

Vocational courses offer students an opportunity to gain marketable skills while acquiring a high school diploma. In some programs/courses, students can use their in-school training as credit towards further on-the-job training (see section on Accredited Programs. To meet agreements of articulation with Apprenticeship Manitoba and Manitoba Colleges, ongoing adjustments are continually made to the intent, content, and implementation of courses and programs.

For more information about all vocational programs, visit Vocational Teachers' Association of Manitoba website.

Getting Trade Programs Accredited In Your School

Apprenticeship Manitoba recognizes trades-related courses or programs of study offered by other training institutions. Over 100 programs have been accredited throughout the province – almost 50 in high schools throughout Manitoba. Private training institutions and community colleges offer the remaining programs. For students, credits from an accredited program can be applied to the technical training requirements of an apprenticeship. See section on Accredited Programs for a listing.

How to apply for Accreditation:

If your school offers a trades-related program and would like to have it accredited, download the Guidelines for Accreditation Package which includes an accreditation application form, or contact Apprenticeship Manitoba to request your copy. An accreditation submission must include:
