About this Program
The NEXUS Program is designed for passionate post-secondary bound high school students. Through NEXUS, we’re bridging the gap between high school and post-secondary education (PSE), whether you are planning on going into college, university, apprenticeship programs or other post-secondary pathways – there’s a place for you at NEXUS. The NEXUS Program is an opportunity for students to acquire the technical and soft skills necessary to succeed in life after high school! Students can take the Engineering Stream, or Science Stream (or both) to begin acquiring the technical skills in their field of interest. Throughout the program, students will cover modules and complete assignments that help them develop fundamental soft skills that have been shown to be crucial for success in post-secondary education including time management, studying effectively and note taking.
