SHSM is a way to shape your high school experience around a career area/specialization that interests you, while earning your Ontario Secondary School Diploma and keeping your options open.
We offer two SHSM sectors at Denison:
SHSM students:
- Complete a bundle of 8-10 courses connected to a career sector (these courses also count towards your diploma).
- Build skills and gain on-the-job experience through cooperative education.
- Earn industry certifications and training, such as first aid, CPR, customer service, electrical safety, infection control and more.
- Take part in hands on events and learning experiences with professionals in the field
Students who complete an SHSM earn a red seal on their diploma and an official record that can be used to show employers and post-secondary institutions the certifications and experience you have gained.
