Supporting Students Interested in Supporting Students Interested in Apprenticeship Pathways Apprenticeship Pathways - - Pilot Pilot Supporting committed students to continue on their chosen path In addition to current supports dual credit teacher, co-op teacher, OYAP coordinator, Guidance Counsellor, the college supports There may be a disconnect from their schools and those available supports because they are not at school (co-op and Level 1 in-school training) 9 SCWI/IJECT
SCWI Invitation to Propose Pilot SCWI Invitation to Propose Pilot Last year, RPTs had the opportunity to pilot transition supports for Level 1 dual credit students. Given the interest following the presentation on Lambton College s 2019-20 pilot at the November 3, Level 1 Apprenticeship Dual Credit Update Webinar* SCWI is extending this pilot for 2020-21. Pilot transition supports for Level 1 dual credit students will be in addition to what is currently in place in boards and colleges. This would provide an opportunity to better understand if/why students don t continue with another Registered Training Agreement after secondary school, or the barriers to students continuing to Level 2. *Recording and accompanying Power Point presentation available in the Level 1 Apprenticeship Update Webinars section: http://scwi.ca/scwi/research.php / 10 SCWI/IJECT

Now that they are graduating from secondary Now that they are graduating from secondary school, and before they leave school, and before they leave Exit interview/a conversation around their first post-secondary step towards becoming a journey person Does the student know which trade they are interested in, have an employer, have a plan for finding an employer? What else does the student need? What gaps are there in their knowledge? What can you do to help? Who else can help them? Job-shadowing, informational interviews, employers, employees, professional organizations, trade unions Invitation to come back for help in the future? The risk of not having conversations is that these students will get stuck. 19 SCWI/IJECT
Student Decision Making Student Decision Making A look at UCAS 2020: The marketing initiatives that matter Academica Forum In our previous article, we examined the reasons for attending postsecondary education. Today, we ll be looking at the information and resources students used to research postsecondary institutions and guide their decision-making process. Where students seek information In 2020, the most common source of information for both university and college students was institution websites, followed by viewbooks, emails, and/or conversations with current students. Some resources were more commonly used by university students, while others were preferred by college students. 20 SCWI/IJECT
