What is SHSM?

The Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) is a specialized high school program that allows students to earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and focus their learning on a specific economic sector at the same time.

Students develop skills for their future careers, graduate high school with industry certifications and training and earn an SHSM seal on their high school diploma.
