Co-op (Experiential Learning)

When selecting COOP, you have two amazing options:

• COOP2 - two credits of COOP (morning or afternoon)

• COOP4 - ALL day COOP

OYAP: Pursuing a COOP in an apprenticeable trade? You will be counted as an OYAP student, with hours on the job being counted toward your apprenticeship. 

NEW!! OYAPFAST "OFAST" on My Blueprint. Selecting this option is an indicator, not a class.

The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) - Focused Apprenticeship Skills Training (FAST) program is an accelerated stream within OYAP that will allow students in Grades 11 and 12 to participate in more apprenticeship learning through additional Co-operative Education (Co-op) credits while completing their OSSD. 

To complete this program, you will be required to earn 8-11 Co-op credits with your Co-op placement in the skilled trades, register as an OYAP apprentice by the time you complete your eighth Co-op credit, and meet all other OSSD requirements, to be awarded the OYAP-FAST seal on your OSSD diploma.

Each OYAP-FAST block is 2 credits. You can select OYAP-FAST more than once and will need to have a minimum of 4 blocks between grade 11 and 12. (For example, 4 credits in grade 11 and 4 in grade 12 = 8)

Please note: This is an indication of interest in the OYAP-FAST program. To be eligible, students must be 15 years or older, have completed 14 credits toward their secondary school diploma, and have parent/guardian consent (if under 18).  Although it’s not required, it is recommended that a grade 12 math course is completed on top of the above listed components.
