NorQuest College, in collaboration with the Government of Alberta, is offering the opportunity for those interested in joining this exciting industry to complete the Foundations of Cooking Program. This funded program consists of essential skills needed for success in the industry and basic skills required by professional chefs and cooks, including kitchen safety, knife technique, and the practical elements of cooking from scratch such as hot food preparation, cold food service, desserts, and a special unit on Indigenous foods. This course balances 50% classroom instruction with 50% kitchen instruction to prepare students for a successful start in the culinary field as an entry-level cook.
In addition to job-relevant training, candidates will also undergo six weeks of work experience, followed by work placement into a jobsite that is selected specifically for them.
This training is taught by industry professionals, with years of experience and are passionate about teaching the next generation of culinary professionals. This intensive training contains a focus on safe food preparation and work practices, customer services, and from scratch cooking methods. We’ve also added a module entirely dedicated to Indigenous Canadian cooking – a first for an Alberta Culinary Arts program!
