registered apprenticeship program (RAP)

The Registered Apprenticeship Program enables students to spend part of their time in school and part in industry as registered apprentices in one of Alberta's 50 registered trades. The amount of time students spend as registered apprentices depends upon the number of RAP courses they are enrolled in, the number of other high school courses being taken, and the employer's needs. Students enrolled in the Registered Apprenticeship Program are paid by their employers

Students can access a Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) at all senior high schools.

work experience

Work Experience courses enhance students' awareness about the world of work and facilitate their smooth transition to the world of work and/or post-secondary study. Work experience provides opportunities to integrate classroom study in all subjects with on-the-job experiences which enable the exploration or validation of career interests.

The first work experience course taken by a student is CTR1010: Job Preparation. It is a prerequisite for other Work Experience courses. A student completing Work Experience 35 for 10 credits will have met the "10 credits in any 30-level courses" graduation requirement for the Alberta High School Diploma.

Students enrolled in Work Experience courses may be paid by the employer at the employer's discretion

Students can access Work Experience at all CBE senior high schools.
