The Youth Train In Trades (formerly known as ACE IT) carpentry program
provides training for Grade 11 and 12 students interested in a career in
carpentry and related trades. Based at West Vancouver Secondary, students
receive training every second day, while attending their own secondary school
for core academic subjects. This program is open to students across the North
Shore, regardless of their home school.
This intensive program allows students to receive technical training
typically done at a post-secondary institution while working toward high school
graduation. Each student accepted into the program is registered as a trainee
with the Industry Training Authority (ITA).
