Benefits of OYAP

OYAP provides students with the same opportunities as Cooperative Education, in addition to the following benefits:

• explore the skilled trades or even become a registered apprentice;
• earn credits toward a high school diploma, record hours and develop trade competencies;
• increase safety awareness, build workplace understanding, develop skills for employment; and
• build a network for future employment.

Participating in Cooperative Education and OYAP is beneficial for many post-secondary pathway options.
