WHAT IS RAP?
The Registered Apprenticeship Program is a unique opportunity for students to explore a trade and begin post secondary apprenticeship training - all while completing their high school diploma.
Who are the best candidates for RAP?
Grade 10, 11 & 12 students who enjoy working with their hands or machines, value working in teams, and have an eye for detail are very well suited for RAP. Students must also be on-track to graduate, have good attendance, and consistently demonstrate a strong work ethic, and have the maturity to work with adults. Having a Class 5 drivers license is very beneficial when looking for placement opportunities.
BENEFITS OF RAP
Students receive 5 CTS credits for every 125 hours worked (to a maximum of 40 credits), receive an hourly wage (at least minimum wage), become a registered apprentice with Alberta, and get a jumpstart on a possible career.
