The OCDSB is able to offer some financial supports to students who are enrolled in co-op and placed in an apprenticeable trade pathway. In order to be approved for any OYAP supports or funding, it is important that an OYAP Participant Form 1 is submitted on behalf of the student. Please use the links below to submit forms and requests for your students. If further supports are needed to ensure student success, please reach out to David Hubbard to identify your students' needs.
In an effort to streamline the OYAP process, we have amalgamated a couple of the previous forms into one. You can use the ORANGE link below to submit Forms and OYAP requests.
