New program excites HPCDSB superintendent
By Stew Slater
Special to The Citizen
Accoi.ding to superintendent Dan
Parr, it's difficult for boards like the
Huron-Perth Catholic District
School Board to establish beneficial
arrangements with post-secondary
education institutions, because there
are none with a significant presence
in the area.
That's one reason he's excited
about a new program connected to
the board's version of the Ontario
Youth Apprenticeship Program
(OYAP).
"We hope it grows," said Parr,
following a presentation by Huron-
Perth OYAP project leader Tim
Martens at a regular board meeting
Monday, Jan. 23.
Martens recently negotiated
what's called an "articulation
agreement" with London-based
Fanshawe College, enabling students
in five specialized Huron-Perth
OYAP programs to gain preferential
access to Fanshawe courses, and
possibly get a one-year jump-start on
what might normally be two-year
apprenticeships.
It will also move the school board
to the top of the list if and when the
community college receives
donations of new equipment and
needs to dispose of existing
equipment.
Martens admitted he went into
negotiations hoping to secure
guaranteed access to courses instead
of preferential access. "I was maybe
asking for more than what was
attainable in a short time," he told
trustees.
"At this point, I think this is a
very positive step forward," he said.
The five specialized programs are
Agricultural Equipment, Plumbing,
Electrician, HVAC (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning),
and Gas and Pipe Fitter. Students at
either Huron-Perth secondary school
- St. Mikes in Stratford or St. Anne's
in Clinton - will spend their
semester doing in-school work, and
the second semester in a co-op work
placement.
At the conclusion of the course,
they may take an exam which,
if they pass, could qualify them
to progress straight into the
second yeat of a two-year
apprenticeship.
According to Parr, Fanshawe
benefits from the agreement's
usefulness as a recruitment tool. He
says enrolment has traditionally
been low in some skilled trades
programs at all community colleges,
despite ongoing provincial
government efforts to build
awareness.
