Secondary School Course Requirements for Apprentices
The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities has produced a document called “Apprenticeship Subject Pathways. While its main purpose is to provide information about the kinds of academic achievement advisable for preparing for an apprenticeship, it also hoped that the resource guide will foster greater understanding of the trades and of the academic skills that journeypersons need to do their jobs.

Apprenticeship Subject Pathways is a resource that will help educators, students, and parents determine which English, mathematics, and science secondary school courses would most benefit students who intend to begin an apprenticeship upon graduation. The pathways were arrived at by aligning the academic skills inventories for trades that are identified in Evaluating Academic Readiness for Apprenticeship Training (EARAT), a series of documents developed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, with the learning expectations that are outlined in the Ontario secondary school curriculum policy documents for English, mathematics, and science.
