Specialist High Skills Major
Specialist High Skills Major in Transportation Tech
What is the program?
The Specialist High Skills Major allows students to focus on a career path that matches their individual skills and interests. Each major is a bundle of 6 to 12 courses in a selected field, such as hospitality and tourism, or construction.
Students who choose a major learn on the job with employers and at skills training centres, as well as in school. They can earn valuable industry certifications, including first aid and computer technology qualifications.
Students who complete a major can be confident that they leave high school prepared with the knowledge, skills, and industry-recognized qualifications desired by employers, and postsecondary education and training institutions.
