Grades 6-12 students had many good questions for Paul Blankestijn of the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission during his presentation at Pangman School on Dec. 16. Students learned that apprenticeship means you spend 85% of the time learning a trade on-the-job while earning a wage, and 15% learning in school. Paul indicated that most employers prefer to hire employees who have Grade 12. Mr. & Mrs. Jesse were presented with tokens of appreciation from students and staff. During the assembly, two of our students received a heartwarming surprise from the Grade 11 and 12 class who showed that they understand the true meaning of Christmas. Their thoughtful acts of kindness can be seen on the video they prepared which is on the school website.

He outlined the opportunities our students have to explore career options in the trades while earning Grade 12 credits. Details on SECPSD website.
