SHSM ... What is Specialist High Skills Major?

A program which allows students to select a package of high school courses and target specific post-secondary, university, college, workplace, community or apprenticeship destinations in the transportation sector. Students in a SHSM earn credits similar to that of other classroom students but have the extra focus put on their transportation career path through contextualized learning activities (CLAs). Their SHSM/OSSD (diploma) upon graduation has a red seal embossed on it (shown above) giving acknowledgement of completion of all credits required for OSSD and of the extra work, focus, or effort a student has exemplified during the SHSM program. Furthermore, many universities and colleges may acknowledged this red seal which aids the student intake process or scholarship delivery.
