ACE IT (or Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training) offers the ability for students to begin work experience and training in a certified trade while still in Secondary School. Overseen by the Industry Trades Authority (wwhttp://www.itabc.ca/site3.aspxw), students complete their work under the supervision of a Red Seal certified tradesperson and Vancouver Island University instructor.
Students who complete the program with over 70% will receive credit from Vancouver Island University, their Level 1 certification and work-based hours recognized by the ITA.
The Ministry of Education recognizes that this program provides a valuable transition for students as they move into the working world:
The goals of ACE IT include:
- providing students with a smooth transition from school to work.
- enhancing students existing trade-specific job-readiness skills, or providing opportunities for the development of new skills.
- providing students with the opportunity to obtain a Level 1 technical training certification in a given trade.
- helping prepare students to enter the world of work with the skills, attitudes, and sense of responsibility necessary to be successful.
