Yukon Secondary School Apprenticeship Training

Description

The program is open to Yukon secondary school students who would like to explore a skilled trade and complete high school at the same time.

Many secondary school students work part-time while attending school, or during the summer break period.  Some of those students are working in trades designated in Yukon for apprentice training.  Those students working in a trade can be registered as apprentices with their employer and receive credit for their trade experience, even if the work is on a part-time or short term basis.  Once they complete high school (defined as not returning to high school for the following semester), their apprenticeship agreements convert to a regular apprentice training schedule.  They then continue their on-the-job training and access in-school technical training as regular apprentices.

Secondary school students should contact the Apprenticeship Office and also their school counselors to discuss options available for them to work in a trade and gain credit for their trades training while still attending and completing high school.
