Central Tech now offers 5 exciting 1 year Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Programs

Once again this year Central Technical School is offering 5 one year OYAP programs in the following trade areas: Carpentry, Plumbing, Cook, Electrical, and Auto Service/Truck and Coach. The OYAP programs at Central Technical School are ideal as school-to-work transition programs. Teachers who have a Certificate of Qualification in both teaching and their skilled trade area deliver the instruction. The programs deliver theoretical and practical instruction that students need and employers want.


To qualify for these OYAP programs, students must:
• Be within 8 credits of graduation
• Have most of their compulsory credits
• Have a good attendance record and be less than 21 years of age as of the first day of school.

Students are interviewed and, if accepted, enrolled in the program.

All of these programs include 550 hours of in-class instruction where students earn up to 5 credits. (There is an additional opportunity in all programs to earn an additional credit.) Then they are registered as OYAP apprentices and begin a double credit Co-operative Education work placement with licensed trades’ people.
