Articulation discussions have been initiated between Saskatchewan Education and Saskatchewan Institute of
Applied Science and Technology (SIAST) for an agreement to articulate Practical and Applied Arts currricula
with SIAST non-apprenticeable programs. Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) will be used to evaluate knowledge
and skills of students.
Discussions are underway to articulate an agreement for the Drafting and Computer-Aided Design Curriculum
Guide with courses offered at SIAST. Common course content between the K-12 curriculum guidelines and
SIAST courses will be identified in order to establish articulation agreements. Details regarding these
discussions have not been finalized at this time and will be released at a later date. More information on the
Pathway for Articulation of the Non-apprenticeable Trades will be found in the Practical and Applied
Handbook (Draft 2000).
