Skilled Trades and Technology Collegiate

Starting in fall 2025, students in Grades 9 to 12 who are interested in the trades will have one more route to pursue their interests. The new Skilled Trades and Technology Collegiate will provide skills, certifications and a clear understanding of careers in trades and technology.

How the collegiate works

The Skilled Trades and Technology Collegiate will offer programming that provides targeted, hands-on, work-integrated learning experiences. Industry partnerships and dual credit opportunities form an important part of the collegiate experience. 

Students in the collegiate will still be enrolled in the Division school they regularly attend, and will complete other diploma requirements there. The collegiate programming will be offered both online and in-person at:

  • Division high schools
  • industry locations
  • post-secondary institutions
