SHSM

Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM)

Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a program approved by the Ministry of Education where students focus their studies on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

These programs enable students to gain sector specific skills and knowledge in engaging, career-related learning environments, and prepare in a focused way for graduation and postsecondary education, training or employment.

SHSMs assist students in their transition from secondary school to apprenticeship training, college, university or the workplace.
