As a cook in the provincial Weekly Apprenticeship Training System program,

you’ll be working full-time in the industry while coming to college one day

each week to acquire new skills and expand your areas of expertise. You’ll

learn about preparing, seasoning and cooking a variety of foods as well as baking

pastries and showpieces. You’ll also test your organizational skills when you study menus

be ready to write the Red Seal exam, a recognized standard that employers seek out.

If you have a genuine interest in preparing food, possess a keen sense of

taste and smell and are creative, flexible and able to work as a member of a

ingredients are in place to create a masterpiece.
