DOES YOUR CHILD want to explore or try out a career path in high school before heading to apprenticeship, college, university or the workplace? Does he or she need help to re-focus and increase engagement in high school and graduation? Does he or she have a passion for hands-on learning outside the classroom with a greater relevance to the subjects being taught in school?
The Halton District School Board attempts to meet individual needs to help more students succeed at a high level in pursuing their chosen pathway, whether it be apprenticeship, college, community, university or the workplace.
