Student Success/Learning to 18

Resources for Teachers

Dual credits allow students to participate in apprenticeship training and college courses.

These credits can count towards their high school diploma as well as a postsecondary certificate, diploma, degree or apprenticeship certification.

For example, students can take a course about entrepreneurship taught by a college professor and a high school teacher on a college campus. By passing the course, a student would earn both a high school credit and a college credit.

This program is being run across the province and most boards and colleges are currently participating. It is often called the School College Work Initiative and is funded by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
