Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) Programs

We offer Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs in Heath and Wellness as well as Information and Communications Technology (ICT).​ These programs provide students the opportunity to tailor their education at the senior level to their area of interest in a post-secondary pathway. ​They are provided with unique experiential learning, sector-specific certifications and training and reach-ahead opportunities. ​Students register for these programs in Grade 10 and begin in Grade 11.

SHSM students receive specialized hands-on training, participate in workshops, attend College and University activities and gain real-world experience through Co-op placements.

SHSM graduates receive a red seal designation on their diploma, as well as an impressive resume filled with relevant, sector-related experience and training.
