One hundred high school graduates from 79 communities across the province, including 12 in the southeast region, are receiving Saskatchewan Youth Apprenticeship (SYA) Industry Scholarships.
听
The scholarship program, which launched in 2009, is managed by the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC). The scholarships are presented to SYA program participants who plan to pursue careers in the skilled trades.
听
Students redeem the scholarships for $1,000 within two years of graduation by actively embarking on a career in the skilled trades, either by registering as an apprentice and completing Level 1 technical training or by completing a pre-employment course in a trade designated in Saskatchewan.
听
There are more than 300 schools and nearly 4,500 students currently registered in the SYA program.
