This program will encourage young women to explore various trades while providing experiential opportunities to encourage women to pursue careers in the trades. These opportunities will include guest speakers, community partnerships field trips such as Young Women Conference with Skill’s Ontario.

DURATION: Dual Credit – from February to May (14 weeks) High School Courses – from February to June (6-8 week blocks)

The Dual Credit program is intended to assist high school students in completing their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and to make a successful transition to college. Students participate in St. Lawrence College courses and apprenticeship programs to earn dual credits that count towards their OSSD and their post-secondary diploma, degree or apprenticeship certification. Dual credit students get a taste of college life, learning and a potential career pathway.

Dual credit students are supported by their high school teachers as well as their college instructor, the St. Lawrence College Dual Credit office and college student support services. The cost of the program is funded by the Government of Ontario through the School College Work Initiative.
