Image 3 in the Figures Series

This is one of a pair of figures that sit above the doors of TDSB's Central Technical School. This figure, working with a hammer and chisel, represents the technical education available at the school which today includes access to Ontario Youth Access Programs. These allow secondary school students to begin their apprenticeships in trades related to automotive, carpentry, cooking, electrical, plumbing and HVAC while completing their diplomas. The other figure, holding a book and representing the academic side of the school's programming, was featured on NeaTO in September 2013.
