与卡尔加里警察局（CPS）建立的独特合作关系，为学生提供了一个机会，可以保持警车的良好状态，并获得工作经验学分，这些学分可计入他们的阿尔伯塔高中毕业证书。

汽车服务技术员项目已经进行了三年。每个学期有两名学生与熟练技工合作，修理车辆的刹车、发动机、悬挂系统、传动系统、燃油系统、电气系统等等。

Nelson Mandela 高中的学生 Ahil P. 自2017年11月以来一直参加这个项目。他在周一至周四早上7:30至中午12点工作，有时也会在非教学日参加。

“作为一个渴望成为机械师的学生，由 CBE 和 CPS 提供的项目在我的未来成功中起着关键作用，”Ahil说。“我正在学习重要的技能，这将帮助我实现成为重型技工的目标。”

车队服务经理 Terry MacFarlane 说：“我们很高兴卡尔加里警察局可以为所有学生提供积极的经历。”

Nelson Mandela 高中校长 Teresa Martin 表示，让学生参加这些探索性项目为学生提供了一次难得的机会，以独特而个性化的方式体验学习。

“这就是高中的全部意义所在：帮助学生找到并追随他们的激情，无论那是什么。我们对希望参与这些机会的学生数量的增长非常满意。只要有需求，我们将继续寻找这些优秀的学习机会。”

A unique partnership with the Calgary Police Service (CPS) is providing students with an opportunity to keep police vehicles in excellent shape, while receiving work experience credits that will count towards their Alberta high school diploma.

The automotive service technician program has been in place for the past three years. Two students each semester work with journeymen mechanics on vehicle brakes, engines, suspensions, transmissions, fuel systems, electrical systems and more.

Nelson Mandela High School student Ahil P. has been attending the program since November 2017. He works Monday to Thursday mornings, 7:30 a.m. – 12 p.m., as well as the occasional non-instructional day.

“As a student that aspires to become a mechanic, the program provided by CBE and the CPS plays a key role in my future success,” said Ahil. “I am learning important skills that will help me accomplish my goal of becoming a heavy duty journeyman mechanic.”

Terry MacFarlane, Fleet Services Manager said, “We are pleased that the Calgary Police Service is able to develop a positive experience for all students.”

Nelson Mandela High School Principal Teresa Martin says having students participating in these exploratory programs gives students such an incredible opportunity to experience learning in such unique and personalized ways.

“This is what high school should be all about; helping students find and follow their passion, whatever that might be.  We are so pleased with the increase we have seen in the number of students wishing to be involved in these type of opportunities.  As long as there is the demand, we will continue to seek out these great learning opportunities for students.”
