The Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a Ministry of Education approved program that allows students to gain experience in real life work environments while working toward achieving the requirements for their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

 
 

A SHSM allows students to focus on knowledge and skills that are of particular importance in certain economic sectors, and to obtain certifications recognized in those sectors, as they work towards meeting the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Students who graduate with a SHSM designation on their diploma are prepared for success in a particular sector and in the post secondary destination of their choice, whether it be apprenticeship training, a college or university program, or the workplace.
