Traditionally, apprenticeships in Alberta begin after high school graduation. However, it's not uncommon for students to identify their career interests at an early age and are ready to start learning their future trade while still in high school.
A RAP apprentice accumulates hours of on-the-job training as credit towards their apprenticeship, plus credit towards their high school diploma.
