Hands-on Trades Courses Get Students Out of Class and On the Job

In an effort to expand upon opportunities for students, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has introduced a new approach called Focus Programs. Focus Programs are designed to provide students with the opportunity to experience a ‘hands-on’ program for one semester. The programs concentrate on a specific trade in a setting that feature in-class and practical on-site experience.

Programs currently offered are:

*…Cabinet-making

*…House-building

•…Landscape and Design

•…Manufacturing – Tool and Die

Check out the program brochures on the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board website.
