Innisfail HIGH SCHOOL Volume 20 - June 21, 2021 Apprenticeship possibilities with Dual Credit program The pre employment program is an opportunity for students to learn trade related skills with a variety of challenges, while finish- ing high school. When completed, this program will allow students to enter into an apprenticeship and continue their post second- ary training with advanced standings. Students who enter into the program can attend technical training classes at Olds College, starting full time in the second semester of their grade 11 and 12 years. Technical training classes run for six hours a day, for twelve weeks and will conclude with the students prepared to challenge their first period apprenticeship exam. High school stu- dents taking the pre-employment program can benefit by earning high school and post secondary credits at the same time, gain- ing experience with college level programs, building their confidence in the workplace and expanding their learning opportunities. If a student successfully passes the course, they can have their first year of apprenticeship theory completed. The criteria for selection for a pre-employment candidate consists of students having completed a minimum of 65 high school credits. Students should have the following recommended courses, such as English 20-2, Math 20-3, Social Studies 20-2, Science 10 and any other 20 level Science, HCS 3000, and the Trade Sampler modules of TEC 1000 and WLD 1167, prior to starting the pre- employment program. Students are required to have good attendance, good work ethic in school and at work, a commitment to their education, and must be on track for their high school diploma. Riley Carter (Grade 11), Jaxon Layden (Grade 11), Branden Howard (Grade 11), Dakota Caron (Grade 12) and Tyson Craig (Grade 12) all took part in this pro- gram from February to April in which they learned the knowledge and skills as- sociated with balancing high school and college level expectations.
