Ontario Expanding Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM) Program

The Ontario Ministry of Education is expanding its Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM) program by adding two majors: Community Safety and Emergency Services and Information and Communications Technology.

The 14 SHSM programs are now available in all school boards across Ontario in 338 Ontario high schools.

Specialist High Skills Majors are now available in:

Agriculture
Arts and Culture
Business
Community Safety and Emergency Services
Construction
The Environment
Forestry
Health and Wellness
Hospitality and Tourism
Horticulture and Landscaping
Information and Communications Technology
Manufacturing
Mining
Transportation
To access school address information

This will help even more Ontario high school students train for careers in fields such as fire protection, paramedics, search and rescue, emergency response, telecommunications, internet commerce and computer engineering.

Students learn on the job and in the classroom. They also earn valuable industry certifications, including first aid and C.P.R. qualifications.

The SHSM program allows students to customize their learning, giving them more opportunity to explore career goals.
