Pathway ProgramsSpecialist High Skills Major (SHSM) A Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a ministry-approved specialized program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary school. It also assists in their transition after graduation to apprenticeship training, college, university or the workplace.SHSM Programs available to RRDSB students include: Manufacturing (FFHS), Business (FFHS), Health & Wellness (FFHS), Environment (AHS, FFHS & RRHS), Hospitality & Tourism (AHS)

• Customize their secondary school education to suit their interests and talents.

• Develop specialized knowledge and skills.

• Develop essential skills and work habits documented through the Ontario Skills Passport.

• Identify, explore and refine career goals and make informed decisions about their future.

• Remain flexible, with the option to shift between pathways, should their goals and plans change.

Co-operative Education Cooperative Education is a ministry-approved program that allows students to earn secondary school credits while completing a work placement. The program consists of a co-op course monitored by a cooperative education teacher, a related curriculum course in any subject and a work placement.Students can apply two co-op credits towards their compulsory high school graduation requirements, with no limit on earning optional co-op credits. Co-op placements are arranged for students by their secondary school and must follow Ministry of Education policy and guidelines.

Students have the opportunity to:

• Experience hands-on learning

• ”Test-drive” career options

• See the relevance of their classroom learning

• Develop the essential skills and habits required in the workplace

• Gain valuable work experience that will help build a resumé for postsecondary programs and future employment.

Dual CreditDual credit programs are ministry-approved programs that allow students, while they are still in secondary school, to take college or apprenticeship courses that count towards both the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and a postsecondary certificate, diploma, or degree, or an apprenticeship certification.

Participating in dual credit programs enables students to:• Complete their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

• Have an experience that will help them make a successful transition to college or an apprenticeship program.

• Increase their awareness of the various college and apprenticeship pathways available to them.

• Gain greater insight into education and career planning decisions.

Ontario Youth Appenticeship Program (OYAP)The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) is a School to Work program that opens the door for students to explore and work in apprenticeship occupations starting in Grade 11 or Grade 12 through the Cooperative Education program. Students have an opportunity to become registered apprentices and work towards becoming certified journeypersons in a skilled trade while completing their secondary school diplomas.The goals of OYAP are:

• To provide students with the opportunity to start training in a skilled trade while completing the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma;

• To enable students to make the school to work transition by direct entry into apprenticeship training;

• To provide employers with the opportunity to train the skilled workers they require;

• To provide a viable solution to address the problem of skilled tradespeople shortages in general, and specifically the lack of young people joining the trades.

School Within A College (SWAC)The SWAC program is a School College Work Initiative that is offered by Confederation College in partnership with the Rainy River District School Board. The program supports individuals in completing high school and considering postsecondary education.

Students can take SWAC courses with an opportunity to earn credits that count toward both a secondary school and a college diploma or certificate. SWAC courses let students “experience” college courses on a college campus, while achieving credits towards a high school diploma.
