Courses & ProgramsRegistered Apprentice ProgramRegistered 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 RAP is designed to: There are eight, 5-credit RAP courses available in each of 50 apprenticeship trades.
