Programs & Courses

Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley takes full advantage of its location to deliver programs you won't find anywhere else. Programs like Outdoor Adventure, which challenges students in practical disciplines such as rock climbing and white water rafting, and the business training to make it all marketable.

APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING

Apprentice cook The service sector employs more people than any other sector, making up nearly 3/4 of all employees in Ontario. Cooks play a major role in this sector and are employed in a wide range of jobs, from personal and business chefs to tourism and hospitality restaurant operations.

To meet the demands of the marketplace, the food and beverage industry is establishing professional standards and training, and offering competitive salaries to attract dedicated and creative people.

Algonquin College's Cook Apprenticeship program is offered through evening courses on a part-time basis and ensures that students are prepared to enter this sector of the labour market.

Students will prepare complete meals and individual dishes, plan menus, estimate food requirements and costs, and monitor and order food supplies. Communications and math skills are also taught to our students, and individuals learn to work in a team atmosphere and under pressure.

Cook Apprentice Certificate Program

In addition to the Cook program, the College also offers other apprenticeship programs including Automotive Technician, Electrician, Carpentry, and Construction Craft Worker.
