As
in past years, partnership between the Simcoe County District School
Board and local manufacturers has opened up promising opportunities for
Grade 11 students interested in taking a look at careers in industry who
could be available for summer employment 2020 and who have room in
their timetable for a 4-credit co-op SEM 2 of 2020-2021. Together with
area employers and a panel of past graduates of the program, OYAP is
offering a Parent-Student Information Night to provide learning about
careers in precision metal cutting and specifically about the OYAP PMC
Program which can include a Level 01 429A General Machinist
apprenticeship class at college, spring of 2021.
The
brochure below, which OYAP mailed in early January to many Grade 11
students (based on course selection including manufacturing or a
combination of maths and sciences), has more details about the
application requirements and Employer-Student Program Interview Day on Tuesday, April 7.
