ACE IT

ACE IT is an industry training program for high school students. Through an ACE IT program, you can take courses that will give you credit towards both high school graduation and towards completion of an apprenticeship or Industry training Program.

ACE IT programs are developed and offered as partnerships between school districts and post-secondary institutions, and classes are often taught at colleges. Local employers also get involved in the development of ACE IT programs, and students who complete these programs typically have very good success in finding employment.

Once you successfully complete an ACE IT program you’ll get credit for at least level one of the technical training (in-class) component of your Industry training Program. And through work experience placements that are usually part of the program, you’ll get credit towards the on-the-job component of your training as well.

That means you can have a significant head start on your post-secondary education by the time you finish high school – as well as gaining practical and in-demand skills.
