$1000 Secondary School Apprenticeship (SSA) Scholarship

"Secondary School Apprenticeship Program" means an educational program that consists of workplace based training where secondary students register as apprentices with the Industry Training Authority (ITA); (Ministerial Order 282/04)

Secondary School Apprenticeship (SSA) program involves part-time work within a trade - something many secondary students are doing already. You might already be a secondary school apprentice and not even know it!

 

If you are still a high school student working part-time in a trade, you are probably a 'hidden apprentice'. By registering as a SSA student, you will be able to earn dual credit for the work you're already doing, become eligible for a $1000 scholarship, and get a head start on earning your trade certification.

 

SSA is NOT the CTC program.

 

To register for SSA you must contact the School District Career Programs Office at

250-564-3121.
