    Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP)

    Join the thousands of high school students throughout Ontario who have chosen to take control of their future. Earn high school credits while exploring the world of a skilled trade profession through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP). Discover the educational opportunities that can give you an advantage.

    OYAPLogo.jpgHow Does OYAP Work?

    As an OYAP student, you will earn Co-op credits for work experience in an apprenticeship occupation while completing the requirements for your Ontario Secondary School Diploma. You may be formally registered as an apprentice while attending secondary school.

    “OYAP was the right program for me. After I completed my two construction technology credits, I applied to the four credit accelerated carpentry OYAP for semester two. My construction classes taught me so much about building. We were able to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity. It was awesome; we were doing the things that we had been taught about, a real hands-on experience.” 
    Grand Erie OYAP student

    What are the Benefits of OYAP?

    • Gain a head start towards a chosen career 
    • Ease the transition from school to work 
    • Increase opportunities for post-secondary training and employment 
    • Earn work experience hours in addition to secondary school credits 
    • Develop general and specialized job skills 
    • Understand employer expectations 
    • Significant reduction in post-secondary tuition costs
    • Increase of employable opportunities

    OYAP01.jpgAre you Interested in an Apprenticeship?

    Apprenticeship is an education and training program for people who enjoy learning by doing and who want to work in a skilled profession. 

    Once education and training are complete, you can receive a Certificate of Qualification, which identifies you as a skilled professional. This can lead to a career in a trade sector such as construction, industrial, motive power and service. 

    How to Enroll

    Students, 16 years of age or older, who are enrolled full-time in secondary school with 16 completed credits can speak with a Guidance Counselor.

    Be sure to also ask about Specialist High Skills Major, Co-op and Dual Credit, three additional programs that feature OYAP.
