How do students get the opportunities for Apprenticeship?
For many students, the road to an apprenticeship begins with a co-op placement. Employers value the skills that co-op students learn and students have opportunities to see if the skilled trades are right for them.

- Mohawk College – “Dual Credit” programs for high school students that can combine coop and college credits
