The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) and OYAP-FAST (Focused Apprenticeship Skills Training)
The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) is a School to Work program that opens the door for students to explore and work in apprenticeship occupations starting after Grade 10 (with a minimum of 14 credits) through the Cooperative Education program.
New for 2025, Focused Apprenticeship Skills Training (FAST) is an accelerated stream within OYAP (“OYAP-FAST”) that will allow students in Grades 11 and 12 to participate in more apprenticeship learning through additional co-operative education credits while completing their OSSD.
