In an effort to expand upon opportunities for students, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has introduced a new approach called Focus Programs. Focus Programs are designed to provide students with the opportunity to experience a ‘hands-on’ program for one semester. The programs concentrate on a specific trade in a setting that feature in-class and practical on-site experience.
Programs currently offered are:
*…Cabinet-making
*…House-building
•…Landscape and Design
•…Manufacturing – Tool and Die
