Youth Train in Trades is an accelerated credential industry training program for high school students. Through a Youth Train in Trades program, you can take courses that will give you both high school graduation credits and a head start toward the completion of an apprenticeship program.
Youth Train in Trades programs are developed and offered as partnerships between school districts and post-secondary institutions. Students who complete these programs typically have very good success in finding employment and moving through the apprenticeship system.
Once you successfully complete a Youth Train in Trades program, you’ll get credit for level one of the technical training (in-class) component of your Industry Training Program. Or enroll in both Youth Train in Trades and the Youth Work in Trades 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.
