Halifax, Nova Scotia — Starting in September 2024, Grade 12 students who meet provincial graduation requirements at the end of the first semester can enter skilled trades programs at the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) before graduating.
Education News Canada reported that the province is launching a pilot program that will see 34 eligible students begin at the NSCC in February.
“Skilled trade careers are high-paying, in-demand opportunities throughout our province. It’s an excellent time to become a skilled trades professional,” said Premier Tim Houston. “Today, we’re announcing a pilot program where graduating high school students can enter the skilled trades sooner.”
The program will include nine months of training, allowing students to graduate in November 2025 and to enter the workforce sooner.
