ACE – IT / Industry Connect / Industry Certification / SSA
ACE IT is an industry training program for high school students. Through an ACE IT program, you can take courses that will give you both high school graduation credits and a head start towards completion of an apprenticeship program.
ACE IT programs are developed and offered as partnerships between school districts ad post-secondary institutions, and classes are often taught at colleges.
Once you successfully complete an ACE IT program you’ll get credit for at least level one of the technical training ( in-class) component of your Industry training Program. And through work experience placements that are usually part of the program, you’ll get credit towards the on-the-job component of your training as well. Or, enrol in both ACE – IT and the Secondary School Apprenticeship program and you’ll be well on your way to completing your first year of post-secondary education by the time you graduate from high school.
