Transportation SHSM @ NACI

What is a SHSM program?

The SHSM is a specialised, ministry-approved program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

SHSMs assist students in planning their transition from secondary school to apprenticeship training, college, university, or the workplace. Students receive knowledge and experiences that can effectively inform their choices and help them plan for the future. They also engage the student with caring adults – including networks of educators and partners in the community and the sector – who can offer relevant, timely information and support.

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

Students who successfully complete the SHSM program receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with an embossed red seal, a SHSM Record documenting their achievement, and a formal recognition on their Ontario Student Transcript. Speak with your guidance counsellor about SHSM and other benefits!

customise their secondary school education to suit their interests and talents
