completed 16 credits towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and be enrolled as full-time students. An OYAP student may have the opportunity to become a registered apprentice while attending secondary school.
The requirements for the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program and the policies and procedures for the earning of the cooperative education credits are outlined in the document Cooperative Education and Other Forms of Experiential Learning and in the OYAP guidelines established by the Ministry of Training, Colleges
and Universities.
In addition to providing students with on-the-job training through cooperative education, an Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program may provide opportunities for selected students to pursue the in-school training required for completion
of Apprenticeship Level 1. This training may be made available to students in three ways:
1. as part of a secondary school multiple-credit technological education course in which the Level 1 Apprenticeship In-School Curriculum Standards are embedded (see the curriculum policy document for technological education); ✧✦ Note: Students successfully completing such a course will be eligible to
write a Level 1 Apprenticeship in-school curriculum exemption test.
A student who achieves at least a 70 per cent average on the exemption test will be exempt from the Level 1 Apprenticeship in-school curriculum requirement if he or she takes Level 2 within two years of the granting of the exemption.
2. as part of a dual credit program in which students receive both the Level 1 Apprenticeship certification and optional credit(s) towards their OSSD (see section 7.3.3);
3. as part of a Level 1 Apprenticeship training program delivered by an approved delivery agent in the community.
✧✦ Note: Students successfully completing a Level 1 Apprenticeship
training program as outlined in option 3 above will receive the Level 1 Apprenticeship certification but will not be eligible to receive credits towards their OSSD.
