High School Students Jump-Start Their Trades Career

Grade 12 students in CCSD27 can jump-start their trades career through the Thompson Rivers University Dual Credit Program! This unique opportunity lets students earn both high school graduation credits and post-secondary credits while completing a foundation year in one of four trades: Residential Carpentry, Heavy Duty Technician, Welding, or Residential Electrical. Tuition is covered through partnerships, with students only responsible for fees, books, and tools. Seats are competitive, so interested students should connect with their school’s Career Education Department early—typically in Grade 10—to begin the application process.
