Dual Credit Program

What it is

Students participate in apprenticeship training and postsecondary courses, earning dual credits that count towards both their high school diploma and their postsecondary diploma, or apprenticeship certification. Students are supported by a Dual Credit Secondary Teacher and the Mohawk College course instructor.


Who it's for

Students in grade 12 who need learning opportunities outside of high school and who would benefit from a college or apprenticeship experience. Students must have successfully completed the OSSD Literacy graduation requirements and have completed or enrolled in English 4C1.


How it helps

Students have the opportunity to:

  • Earn high school credits while studying at a local college or taking apprenticeship training
  • Gain experience that will help them with their postsecondary education or apprenticeship
  • Get a head start on learning and training for their future careers.
