SHSM Programs

Non Profit

The Non-Profit sector offers a range of careers that are dynamic, engaging, and rewarding. Whether in the fields of art, culture, education, the environment, information technology, healthcare, social development, or sport, countless career paths are available for people who share the sector’s common vision: to make a difference. The sector’s employers include some 69,000 non-profit organizations nationwide. They are active in a variety of areas – health and social services, religion, development and housing, arts and culture, sports and recreation, the environment, education and research, fundraising, law, advocacy, and politics – both in Canada and internationally. The Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program in Non-Profit gives students an opportunity to specialize, gain qualifications, and plan a career pathway in various areas of the Non-Profit sector while still in high school. The SHSM Program has a number of required components, designed to give students a “leg-up” to pursue post-secondary opportunities in each of the identified career areas, and valuing apprenticeship, college, university and work.
