Registered Apprentice Program (RAP)

Program Description

Programming supports students who learn well through on-the-job training and want a career where they work with their hands.

Students enrolled in RAP can:

• work as an apprentice in one of Alberta’s 50 or more designated trades
• spend part of the year completing high school diploma requirements and another part of the year working 
• gain experience at an approved work site
• accumulate hours toward a ticket while attending high school full-time
• complete health and safety training
• get a head start on completing the first year of apprenticeship training while in high school
• transition into full-time apprenticeship program upon high school graduation
