Programs
Fellowes offers a wide range of programs beginning with work place programs such as wood-shop, auto-tech, and metal tech.

There is also the high skills major program that allows students to cater their class schedules towards their fields of interest while also gaining hands-on knowledge that will be beneficial in the future. This specific program aims to:


 * Prepare for a successful postsecondary transition to apprenticeship training, college, university or employment;


 * Gain sector-recognized certification and career-relevant training;
 * Develop essential skills and work habits documented through the Ontario Skills Passport;
 * Explore and refine career goals and make informed decisions about their future

The co-operative education program allows students to earn secondary credits as well as getting practical experience in the workplace.
