RSS Principal Greg Kenyon (left) presents a $1,000 Secondary School Apprenticeship Scholarship to Josh Zahacy who will use it to assist to further his career as an Apprentice Automotive Technician with Grizzly Auto. Josh started his apprenticeship while attending RSS. Secondary School Apprenticeships offer students the opportunity to register as an apprentice and receive 16 credits towards graduation from work experience hours, while continuing classroom learning. To qualify for the SSA scholarship, students must graduate with a C+ average or better; complete a minimum of 480 hours of paid apprentice work; and still be pursuing a career in the trades six months after graduation. The scholarship funding is shared between the Ministry of Education and the Industry Training Authority, funded through the Ministry of Economic Development.
