Benefits of the SHSM Program

shsm logoThe Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) offers students a wide range of benefits including:
• Hands-on training
• Industry specific skills
• Recognized certifications
• Work experience through co-op
• Strong academic knowledge base
• New learning opportunities
• Better understanding of the career that you are interested in
• And, a great résumé

Students who complete all components of their SHSM will graduate with a Red Seal on their diploma, as well as an official Ministry Record Card outlining the completion of each component. Students who complete some of the SHSM components, but not all, will receive an official Ministry Record Card outlining which components they have completed.

And, there is no cost to take a SHSM program.

But, don't take our word for it - take a look for yourself!
