OYAP: Journey of an Apprentice by Michael Alexander https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd What has resonated with you? What are the next steps for your team? en-us 2017-09-25 14:25:35 UTC 2017-10-23 01:55:06 UTC hello@padlet.com Loretto College https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191784501 - importance of exploratory visits
- prepare students on what to expect in the interview - explain how to dress, speak, present themselves - practice
- good idea - invite graduating students that have experienced OYAP to speak with current students that are interested in the programs
- can start making money during apprenticeships giving our students a boost over their more academic peers (i.e., as per presentation, teachers at a disadvantage in comparison to a trade such as a plumber as they make money right away while we are paying for schooling)]]> 2017-09-27 17:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191784501 Blessed Cardinal Newman https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191785585 -renewed math/tech strategy (diagnostic package)
- great possibility to find employment right away contrary to traditional college/university pathways
-great earning power in comparison to traditional pathways
-very important to advertise OYAP info to students in the school community 
-talk to tech teachers regarding math topics/skills that are necessary 
-very important to inform parents; many parents are not aware of this program]]> 2017-09-27 17:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191785585 SBC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191785621 There are many different ways that lead to apprenticeship.
Making sure to discuss/prepare students for the requirements needed for specific trade]]> 2017-09-27 17:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191785621 Jean Vanier https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191785806 -red seal from OYAP is different from SHSM red seal
- inform students of OYAP opportunities ]]> 2017-09-27 17:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191785806 Msgr. Fraser https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191787972 - Need to identify specific trade in order to assess eligibility 
- Access OYAP website for manuals to all trades and certifications 
- Inform students on need for RTA as pathway]]> 2017-09-27 17:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191787972 Loretto Abbey https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191788802 - very hard to implement in a non-semestered school]]> 2017-09-27 17:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191788802 SMCA https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191790399 - We redirect students into apprenticeship pathways but oftentimes we don't anticipate that they may struggle in college (Some have not come through enough of the college stream to be prepared for college.)
- Tap into parent nights because student may be interested but parents may reserve judgement and withold permission until they have all the details.
- Think about how to promote information to parents.
- Take kids to the Local 27!

Next steps: 
- Continuing to promote OYAP to students
- Making students aware of the requirements of various trades (ex. 4C Physics & Math)

-resilience: preparing our students for success!! (interviews, being punctual, preparation for real life situations)

-promote apprenticeship as an important pathway
-more students in OYAP through co-op; even though non-semestered there are huge benefits for them even when they are just a participant ]]> 2017-09-27 17:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191794025 BMTM vitalem02 https://padlet.com/michael_alexand/bkzgp8jqr9hd/wish/191803466 -if you're not sure about something just ASK. It will be easier to go through a problem with staff at CEC rather than having to undo a big trillium mess 
- must put in certifications asap 
- follow up on the coding used for summer school co-op SHSM students 
-refer back to all trilllum manuals for help

- OYAP provides an opportunity to build resiliency

- Case Studies: how would your council a student with x marks and level x in regards to Individual Pathway Plan. (IPP).
            -ex. for consideration: to be in electrical you needs a minimum C Math and C Physics
-you need to consider their background, experience, etc. and council for the appropriate apprenticeship, don’t pick out of the hat.
-Through Co-op, students who are interested in the apprenticeship pathway are registered online through OYAP in a Registered Training Agreement (they are now a high school student and Apprentice) then after secondary school they can find an employer (new or old) to take them on and take their level 1 apprenticeship. Bonus: they get level 1 sooner

-There are training standards manuals for each trade (see ministry wed site or Luciano) which outline all the tasks/skills that the apprentice must work through each task. If you are a co-op student you can start the booklet and keep it for future. If you are OYAP Luciano will print it and give it to each student BUT if you are Co-op the student of co-op teacher can and should print it for the student and employer to work through.
