Students enrolled in the Work-Oriented Training Path are young people who, despite the support provided, have had and continue to have major difficulties in school.
Students in this path are like other young people in many ways, but they are different in some ways. They share the interests and aspirations of other adolescents and dream of playing an active role in society. Like other students, they have a variety of skills in different spheres of activity, are curious and may show originality, resourcefulness and social commitment. They face the same social issues and challenges in life and work as students in other paths. They should therefore have opportunities for similar experiences (Secondary QEP, Chapter 5, p. 2).
Students in both Prework Training and Training for a Semiskilled Trades are at least 15 years old on September 30 of the school year in which he or she begins either training program.
