High School Apprenticeship Program

Students in the Brandon School Division, are surrounded by a multitude of options regarding employment in apprenticeship approved trades. HSAP – High School Apprenticeship Program, provides students with opportunities in which they can explore trades in a real and relevant setting. A student starts the apprenticeship training while attending high school. It combines regular high school instruction with paid, part-time, on-the-job training. It does not take the place of academic studies. The HSAP program is available to all students in their home schools, coordinated by a divisional coordinator.

To participate in the HSAP program, the following is required:

• Taking core subjects grades 10-12 
• 16 years of age 
• Enrolled in High School 

The HSAP program provides practical, paid, work experience and the opportunity to:

• Get hands-on experience using highly specialized, technological equipment
• Earn up to 8 supplemental-40S-academic credits for graduation based on 110 working hours per credit (up to 6 credits for Mature Diploma students)
• Receive a wage that is more than minimum average
• Apply your on-the-job training hours to continued, full-time apprenticeship training after graduation
