The Youth TRAIN in Trades Program allows high school students to take pre-apprenticeship (technical) training that provides them with dual-credit (up to 32 credits) for high school courses and apprenticeship or industry training programs. This is an innovative partnership between the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) and the Chilliwack School District. Grade-11 students can apply to pursue an apprenticeship career path to obtain the first level of technical training in a particular trade in their grade-12 year. Youth TRAIN in Trades Programs are tuition-free, however students are required to pay ancillary fees and materials. Application process is competitive and space is limited.
