Fit and Ready for Skills Training

The Fit and Ready for Skills Training Program is a part-time program for students with barriers to education and employment who are in Grade 12 or Grade 12+ or have recently finished high school. The program is designed to assist students in making successful exits from secondary school into training or workplace settings. 

Through the course of the program, students are introduced to post secondary education opportunities, examine future training possibilities, and address the steps/skills required to obtain more education and/or entry into the work force. Classroom work includes exploration of personal strengths and interests, development of employment goals, development of work habits and skills (e.g., social and communication skills, problem-solving skills, time management, punctuality/attendance) and job search techniques. 

Students are also required to complete two practicum placements in order for them to further explore their vocational interests and to further develop work readiness skills.
