Canada does have qualifications for trades, but they are taken after high school graduation. Allowing senior high school students to get a start on their apprenticeships prior to graduation would be a good idea.

There is a school in Hamilton that does that - though apparently it's one of the schools that is going to be closed down. Presumably there are other schools that offer similar courses.
