"The world needs Ditch Diggers too..." - My deceased father in Law.

In all seriousness...Maybe look at some apprenticeship programs ?

If he is at UVic then he has already done the right courses in high school.
My youngest learned the hard way that High school Diploma credits aren't enough to get you into post secondary.

Two years of upgrading later, he is now at SAIT and enjoying his program.

Best of Luck to your son.
