At Two Rivers Secondary School, we want to hear from our students! We are exploring which sectors of the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program we should offer at our school, and your voice can help us make that decision.
What is SHSM?
The Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a specialized program for Ontario high school students that allows students to focus their learning on a specific career sector while completing their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). SHSM programs combine classroom learning with valuable experiences such as certifications, career exploration, work placements, and opportunities to develop industry-related skills.
