SAP will be up and running this summer.  It is designed for Grade 10, 11, & 12 students looking to explore occupations in the trades through summer employment. There are four Apprenticeship Credits available for high school students working under a Journeyperson’s supervision with the RDIEC providing support and supervision that is required for these students to earn high school credits in the Regina region. We are in the process of contacting employers and creating advertisements for a job board.  As completed, these advertisements will be sent out to you through our weekly update and will also be posted on our RDIEC website. Please note – students that are already working with a journey person are eligible to earn these credits and we would be happy to supervise them.  For more information, contact Gordon Heidel, RDIEC Program Facilitator, at gordon.heidel@rdiec.ca or call (306) 537-2960 (cell) or (306) 523-3332 (office)
