Registered Apprentice Program

Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) is an apprenticeship program for high school students. Traditionally, apprenticeships in Alberta began after students graduated from high school. However, some students identify their career interests at an earlier age and are ready to get started learning and practicing their future trade while in high school. RAP is an ideal program for these students.

RAP students divide their time between an approved work site and their high school. They take regular courses, such as English language arts, social studies, science and mathematics in order to earn their Alberta High School Diploma or Certificate of Achievement. RAP students are both full-time students and registered apprentices.

The time a RAP student spends at school and on the work site can be quite flexible. The student, school and employer jointly agree to a suitable schedule. The student might work as a RAP apprentice for a semester, for half of each school day, for one or two days per week, or during summers, holidays and weekends. RAP students are expected to continue their apprenticeship after they graduate from high school. All apprentices are required to take a period of technical training (formal instruction) after completing each year of their
apprenticeship. The RAP apprentices' technical training is delayed until they have completed high school and completed the required number of hours of workplace learning. RAP students are paid at least minimum wage.

RAP is designed to:
- improve the transition between school and the workplace
- encourage students to stay in school
- enable students to obtain on-the-job training that is recognized by employers.

There are eight, 5-credit RAP courses available in each of 50 apprenticeship trades.
