Rewarding Careers in the Trades



In Early April a special evening was held for students in the Secondary School Apprenticeship program who had earned $1000 scholarships from the Industry Training Authority. This year Delview Secondary had two well deserved winners of this award – Kevin Kirk and Travis Dickson. Kevin has been pursuing his interest in Auto Repair and Travis is now immersed in a career in the Plumbing industry. The Apprenticeship program provides secondary students with an earlier start to trades certification while earning high school credits. As well, working in industry enhances education by offering training and workplace skills not otherwise available in a secondary school setting. By following this path these two young men are well on their way to rewarding careers in the trades as well as $1000 dollars richer. We wish them every success in the future.
