What is a Specialist High Skills Major?

A Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a type of specialized Ministry of Education approved program. A SHSM allows students to focus their knowledge and skills towards a certain economic sector. Students obtain certification 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 postsecondary designation of their choice, whether it is apprenticeship training, college programs, university programs, or the workplace.
