RAP
Enroll in the Registered Apprentice Program (RAP) to kick-start your career journey. Through this program, your employer provides firsthand experience in your selected trade, aiding in your decision-making process regarding its suitability for you.
Engage in your chosen trade:
- Part-time throughout the academic year,
- For a semester,
- During weekends and holidays, or
- Throughout the summer.
While gaining practical experience, you will:
- Receive wages,
- Earn up to 40 high school credits, and
- Accumulate on-the-job apprenticeship hours, setting the groundwork for journeyman certification post-high school.
Information about the Registered Apprenticeship program is available on the Alberta government Tradesecrets website.
Students should connect with Student Services to get started in the RAP.
