The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program
OYAP is a youth apprenticeship program aimed at providing Grade 11 and 12 students with opportunities to train as apprentices in a number of skilled occupations while completing studies toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
Most important, OYAP strives to introduce senior high school students to skilled trades in an effort to increase youth apprenticeship opportunities.
OYAP partners with employers who are committed to offering apprenticeship opportunities to students who demonstrate an aptitude and interest in skilled occupations through co-op work experience placements.
OYAP meets the objectives of secondary school reform by providing secondary school students with a school to work transition program.
