This non-credit program is offered in three levels, which contain 12 easy-to-complete challenges. These challenges are activities that range from: outlining the steps in apprenticeship to interviewing a tradesperson to attending a career fair, many of which can be completed during a practical and applied arts course (i.e Food Studies, Construction & Carpentry, Welding, etc.) during your high school education.
The SATCC is offering a number of possible benefits after completing this program in high school.
· Waiver of SATCC registration fee
· Waiver of tuition for Level 1 technical training
· Up to 300 hours of trade-time credit
· Plus: the possibility of being nominated at the school level to be entered for a $1,000 scholarship
This is equivalent to approximately $2,000 in benefits, plus an opportunity for $1,000 more with the scholarship!
In order to participate, students must be at least 15 years of age and in grade 10 or above, and meet additional criteria. Students must be able to complete high school and the SYA program by August 31 of the current school year in order to be considered.
