Graphic header promotes Specialist High Skills Major program

Grand Erie District School Board, in conjunction with Ontario Ministry of Education, offers Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM) to students in secondary schools.

High school students enrolled in a Specialist High Skills Major are required to complete a bundle of classroom courses, workplace experiences and sector certifications to receive a special designation, also known as the red seal, on their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Currently, 13 Grand Erie high schools offer 35 Specialist High Skills Major Programs in 10 different economic sectors:

  • Arts and Culture
  • Construction
  • Environment
  • Health and Wellness
  • Horticulture and Landscaping
  • Hospitality and Tourism
  • Information and Communications Technology
  • Manufacturing
  • Sports
  • Transportation

The SHSMs can prepare students for either apprenticeships, college, university or the workforce. Speak with your Principal to learn more about the program offered at your school or another school of choice.
