There is a possibility that not all offered courses will be able to run. The final determination on the availability of a course will be based on student interest. Students are encouraged to choose appropriately.

Specialist High Skills Major
What is SHSM?
The SHSM program is a ministry-approved program that allows grade 11 and 12 students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements to graduate from high school. A SHSM program gives students the opportunity to specialize their learning, gain qualifications, and explore a career pathway while still in high school.
Who is SHSM for?
SHSM is for students who want real world experience, a better sense of the type of work they want to do, and an understanding of where a career in their chosen sector can take them. It helps students transition after graduation to their next step, whether that be apprenticeship, college, university, or workplace training.
NOTE - The ICT program at NCC is currently under review.
