The Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a specialized program that allows students to gain credits toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma and focus their learning on a specific economic sector at the same time. The SHSM is a Ministry of Education approved program.
Students receive the SHSM seal on their diploma when they:
- complete a specific bundle of 8-10 courses in the student's selected field
- earn industry certifications like first aid and CPR certifications
- gain important skills on the job through cooperative education placements
Speak with your secondary school guidance team or visit the Ministry of Education Specialist High Skills Major website for more information.
