Register your School 

To register your school in the SYA program, please fill out the school enrolment request form and submit it to the SYA Coordinator at [email protected].

  • The SYA Coordinator will set up an account for your school in MyATC.
  • The SYA Coordinator will also reach out and provide you with your school’s registration code over the phone after verifying your identity, so you can login to MyATC for the first time.
  • You can share this registration code with others in your organization so they can access your school’s account.
  • A guide to MyATC registration for schools can be found here. You will need to register your school only once.

SYA encourages young people to explore opportunities in the skilled trades through research and hands-on learning. As the SYA Champion for your school, you are responsible for approving student registrations, administering SYA challenges, tracking students’ progress and reporting on their completion in MyATC.

Find more information on the SYA program in the Teachers’ Package.

Register Students

Students register themselves in the SYA program through MyATC. They will require a Saskatchewan Account and must select MyATC as a service to connect to their account. Once in MyATC, they can submit an SYA application.

For more information, contact the SYA Coordinator at [email protected].

Administer Challenges & Track Progress

Administer and help students complete the three levels (12 challenges) of SYA, and track their progress using the SYA Passport and MyATC.

Report

SYA Champions can update youth apprentices’ progress through MyATC.

Once students have completed SYA, certificates can be requested and downloaded in MyATC. The benefits awarded for completing the SYA program expire five years from the date the certificate is issued. Once the certificate is issued, SYA Champions or participants can print off the certificate through MyATC.
