Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSMs) let students focus on a career path that matches their skills and interests while still meeting the requirements of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students receive the SHSM seal on their diploma when they:
complete a specific bundle of 8-10 courses in the student's selected field
earn valuable industry certifications including first aid and CPR qualifications
gain important skills on the job through cooperative education placements.
At USS, we have four SHSMs to choose from. Click below for more information about of these amazing opportunities and/or speak with the lead teacher for the program(s) of interest to you. You will be automatically enrolled in the SHSM once you take the respective Grade 11 course.
