The RRTVA held its first Partners in Education Luncheon and Appreciation event on April 24 in Winkler. The RRTVA honoured the many businesses and organizations that have partnered with its High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) over the years.
In addition to business partner representatives, the four RRTVA superintendents from Western, Garden Valley, Border Land & Red River Valley School Divisions attended, along with some trustees.
Students in the HSAP program have an opportunity to learn about a trade and develop their learning in that trade. Many students become Red Seal tradespersons as a result of this program.
By the end of each June, about 200 students have enrolled in HSAP throughout the school year.
