A new skilled trades centre will offer more hands-on learning and academic opportunities for students at Cole Harbour District High School in Nova Scotia.
"Students in Cole Harbour have more learning opportunities available to them than ever before with the addition of this state-of-the-art skilled trades centre," said Karen Casey, Early Childhood Development Minister. "In this centre, students work on real projects using real tools of the trades and that makes a big difference for those preparing to enter the workforce."
The Cole Harbour District High School’s centre was officially opened on Oct. 31. It features 6,500 square feet of instructional space.
Skilled trades centres have been specifically designed by educators, trades people and members of industry.
As a result, Cole Harbour students can access courses such as:
— Skilled Trades 10, which gives an overview of all trades and focuses on using basic hand tools;
— Construction Trades 11, which helps students develop, and put into use, skills essential to construction trades;
— additional courses, expected to be added next year;
Renovations are expected to be completed by January and also include a new, larger gymnasium with a healthy living classroom, a new guidance centre, learning common, cafeteria, music room, and textile and nutrition room.
