The Ministry of Education has approved $832,785 in funding for next year’s Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs, including a combined $38,000 to expand the Transportation Technology and Agriculture SHSM programs at North Middlesex District High School in Parkhill.
This funding will support additional cooperative education opportunities, giving more SHSM students the chance to make community connections and gain valuable experiences in their sector of interest. There are currently 8 students enrolled in the Agriculture program and 9 students in the Transportation Technology program.
SHSM is a specialized program approved by the Ministry that allows students to earn industry-standard certifications and gain real world experience in their sector while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary school.
