The Introduction to  Trades (ITT) program provides students with a unique opportunity to collaborate closely with a teacher and an education assistant to enhance their academic learning. In the mornings, students dedicate their time to coursework, followed by practical application in one of two workshops, outdoor activities, or community engagement in the afternoons. Notably, each semester, ITT students undertake the construction of new “Learning Studios,” which serve as classrooms for younger students within the district. Recent examples of these Learning Studios can be observed at Chase River and Randerson Ridge Elementary Schools.
