Why OYAP?

  • Students still earn a high school diploma while learning a skilled trade.
  • OYAP helps parents to avoid costly tuition.  Although there are fees incurred with college courses later in the apprenticeship, the costs are far less than the current rising costs of college and university tuition.
  • Registration fees for high school students are paid for by the  Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
  • Students are learning hands-on, usable skills while young and, therefore have a head start on their careers.
  • With the increasing demand for skilled workers in Ontario, securing a skilled trade ensures employability for your son or daughter - with top performers in some skilled trades earning between $40,000 and $100,000 per year.
  • Learning a skilled trade  may act as a stepping stone for careers in management and self-employment.
