Apprenticeship
In Alberta: A Model of Excellence
Apprenticeship in Alberta is a training system that combines on-the-job
training and formal instruction in recognized sets of skills called trades.
Designated
Occupations: A New Approach to Certification
A designated occupation is an occupation that has been approved by the
Minister of Alberta Learning on the recommendation of industry. When an
individual achieves the standards of performance that are established
by the designated occupation, a certificate is granted that is recognized
as an achievement of competency for that occupation. A designated occupation
is not a trade.
The
Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP): Paid career training before you
leave school
RAP is a way for high school students to become an apprentice and gain
credits toward both an apprenticeship program and a high school diploma
at the same time. It's like having it all!
