THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12 | Technological Education
PLANNING PROGRAM PATHWAYS AND PROGRAMS LEADING
TO A SPECIALIST HIGH SKILLS MAJOR
Technological education courses are well suited for inclusion in some programs leading to a Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) or in programs designed to provide pathways to particular apprenticeship or workplace destinations. In some SHSM programs, technolog- ical education courses can be bundled with other courses to provide the academic knowl- edge and skills important to particular industry sectors and required for success in the workplace and postsecondary education, including apprenticeship. Technological educa- tion courses may also be combined with cooperative education credits to provide the workplace experience required for some SHSM programs and for various program path- ways to apprenticeship and workplace destinations. SHSM programs would also include sector-specific learning opportunities offered by employers, skills-training centres, col- leges, and community organizations.
