School-College-Work Initiative
Dual Credits are defined as a high school credit and a college credit earned at the same time. The opportunity to earn two credits simultaneously is available to senior students in experiential programs that vary each year. The opportunity to earn multiple credits is available to senior students in the School-College-Work initiative each year. These opportunities have been designed to provide students with a head start to their college education, to allow for a seamless transition to college, to strengthen the partnerships in Northwestern Ontario based on the needs of its youth, to recognize the college as a viable post secondary destination for state-of-the-art education and training, and to benefit all students in the region.
