RAP 

Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP)

The RAP program provides students with the opportunity to spend part of their school year completing high school diploma requirements and part of their year working as a registered apprentice in one of Alberta's 52 registered trades. After successfully completing related safety training and course work, students begin employment at an approved worksite, learning on the job and acquiring hours toward their journeyman's status. Students will also receive a wage from their employer. Students must complete grade 10 before starting a RAP placement but they can begin to apply for RAP in the second semester of grade 10.  Students should have an interest in working with their hands and a willingness to learn new skills. Our employers want students that will show up on time and work hard. You can better your chances of getting a RAP placement by attending and passing all of your courses. Make sure you research some trades so you can make an informed decision. It is possible to earn up to 45 credits with 25 credits going towards your high school diploma. Once completed you may qualify for a government RAP scholarship.
