About the Work Oriented Training Path

The Work Oriented Training Pathway (WOTP) offers students two alternative pathways from the regular program. Both the Pre-Work Training (PWT) and Semi-Skilled Trade (SST) programs lead to a Quebec Education certification, often bridging them directly to the workforce or towards vocational training, rather than CEGEP or other post-secondary education programs. Both WOTP programs are Modified, neither pathway has any equivalence to the regular sector or secondary 5/2.3 and they do not lead to a high school diploma.

For more in-depth information, you can consult the draft version of the teacher’s guide. The official Guide will be released when it is available.
