| Comprehensive Arts and Science (CAS) Trades is designed for learners who will be 19 years of age at the commencement date of the program, and have a minimum of Grade 9 High School completion, or equivalent. The program is designed for learners who would like to improve their employability skills and/or who are lacking either the academic courses or the required grades to meet the admission requirements for entry into a College of the North Atlantic (CNA) Industrial Trades Program. The CAS Trades program also provides a valuable ?refresher? for mature students who have been away from education, training and/or the workforce for some time.
Students in the CAS Trades program will be provided the opportunity to gain a wide range of knowledge and skills in preparation for further post-secondary training and/or employment in a trades environment. In addition to courses in English, Mathematics and Science, students will be exposed to courses ranging from Standard First Aid to introductory courses investigating trades such as Carpentry, Electrical, Plumbing and Welding. Courses such as Orientation to Safety provide students with the opportunity to develop safe working skills necessary for successful learning in a CNA Industrial Trades program. Graduates of this program will qualify for admission into one of 30 of the 34 Industrial Trade programs, or for admission into the CAS Transition program.
