4. Challenges: What have we learned? The apprenticeship pathway is still not as well known or understood Different from other post-secondary options (college or university) in terms of application processes, and how and where learning takes place Wrap Around SWAC and Wrap Around ADC: interest in apprenticeship and need for support to take next step Students may only become interested towards the end of secondary school or later, regardless of opportunities while in school 4 SCWI/IJECT

5. Challenges: What have we learned? How do we/can we support students to take the first post- secondary step towards becoming a journey person? 5 SCWI/IJECT

6. Increase understanding of the journey person pathway Becoming a journey person Alternating periods of on-the-job (~90%) and in-school training (~10%). Most learning takes place on the job Opportunities in secondary school to prepare for and to begin an apprenticeship Two groups of students with different needs Ones who already know who they want to become Ones who have no plan but might be interested in learning about this option 6 SCWI/IJECT

14. Dual Credits: Eligible Participants Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program Primary Target Group Specialist High Skills Major 14 SCWI/IJECT

15. Dual Credit Options Tech and trades dual credits Level 1 Apprenticeship In-School Training with MLTSD in-class training funding for OYAP students with a Registered Training Agreement For primary target group students. In-class training funding is paid by SCWI. Level 1 Apprenticeship In-School Training delivered in secondary school Team-taught College Delivered Delivered by secondary school teacher with college Oversight SCWI newsletters include many of the options by RPT (http://scwi.ca/scwi/newsletters.php ) 15 SCWI/IJECT

16. Questions to consider? Which dual credit courses are available to students in your school? What advantage does this type of opportunity provide and to whom? What does a good candidate for each of the options look like? Who can help you find those students? 16 SCWI/IJECT

17. Technology and Trades Dual Credits Students in the primary target group are eligible Wide variety of dual credit courses Construction Technology Metal Trades Practices Autobody Introduction to Video Baking and Pastry Arts Skills 1 Introduction to Gerontology Sustainable Horticulture Practices Cosmetic Applications Team-taught and college delivered Congregated and integrated 17 SCWI/IJECT

20. Expansion announced September 2021 OYAP Level 1 Transitions Support Pilots RPTs can apply for this funding starting in Cycle 2 which is currently open in EDCS. Please note: The purpose of these pilots is to support students to continue on their chosen path both while they are in and after their Level 1 Apprenticeship Dual Credit Students in any Level 1 Apprenticeship Dual Credit program (regardless of the delivery approach) who will be transitioning from secondary school to their first postsecondary destination are eligible. Pilot transition supports for Level 1 dual credit students will be in addition to what is currently in place in boards and colleges. 20 SCWI/IJECT

21. OYAP Level 1 Transitions Support Pilots This expanded pilot would provide an opportunity to better understand the barriers to students continuing in an apprenticeship after their Level 1 Dual Credit experience. These pilots will build on the success of the Wrap Around SWAC and Wrap Around ADC pilots. Please request an OYAP Level 1 Transitions Support pilot as an Activity with specific reference to your approved Level 1 Dual Credit program(s) and cost your proposal as you would Wrap Around SWAC and Wrap Around ADC (see attached funding spreadsheet). Supplementary reporting will be required. 21 SCWI/IJECT

22. OYAP Level 1 Transitions Support Pilots Lambton College s 2019-20 pilot was featured at the November 3, Level 1 Apprenticeship Dual Credit Update Webinar. http://scwi.ca/scwi/research.php SCWI hosted a webinar focusing on the 2020-21 pilots, February 2021: http://scwi.ca/scwi/research.php 22 SCWI/IJECT

23. Possible Solution: How can we learn more about our students? Academic records Identify students who may excel in hands-on courses, but may struggle in more text-based courses Look at what opportunities are available this semester for these students due to timetable constraints Attendance concerns may be a result of lack of interest in courses Information is available, then what can you do with it? Build on their successes and interests connect with them 23 SCWI/IJECT

24. Possible Solution: Individual Pathways Plan (IPP) Opportunity for students to capture their interests in their IPP along with documenting their experiences Identify students interested in trades Identify students with no plan Identify students who are disengaged and underachieving with potential 24 SCWI/IJECT

25. Possible Solutions: Set Deadlines No deadline to start an apprenticeship; makes it easier to put off and not move forward Students may benefit from identifying a concrete next step, may help reduce anxiety around transitions Schools could create deadlines in their schools for apprenticeship- bound students and follow-up/remind students There is a deadline for applying for entry into dual credits typically, part of the course selection process For potential grads establish deadlines to sign up for a session on Apprenticeship, or for grads to register with Employment Ontario 25 SCWI/IJECT

26. Now that they are graduating from secondary 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. 26 SCWI/IJECT
