A transaction certificate is an alternative to the regular
high school graduation certificate.
The transition certificate provides training and skill
development for those students moving directly into
the world of work. Because transition courses do not
count as a credit towards a Province of Manitoba hugh
school graduation certificate, students may not use
these courses to continue on to Red River Community
College or University.
The courses offered as part of the transition certificate
program provide a useful and practical preparation for
life beyond high school. A transition certificate awarded
by the Winnipeg School Division recognizes the skills
and achievements acquired bt the student throughout
the high school years.
Transition courses may be offered in any Winnipeg School
Division secondary school. They may be part of an individualizes
learning plan or they may be offered to groups of students.
Combining transition courses with other courses to complete
a program is encouraged.
