Hey Everyone,
So, I want to let you all know what really sparked my interest in Culinary. Well in my final year I picked up a book from my high school, a book that would change my life. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and I felt like time was running out. This book was all about focus programs, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and try out one of the skilled trades offered in the book. As I looked through the book I came across the Cook's Internship Program a course "that focuses on advanced food preparation and presentation skills, the safe use of equipment and facilities in the hospitality and tourism industry. Students study the nutritional value of foods, plan menus and recipes, develop management techniques, design and implement events, and learn effective communication skills. They also explore careers, the impact of the hospitality and tourism industry on society and the environment, and health and safety standards in the workplace." I strongly encourage anyone who is thinking about a career in skilled trades to look into focus programs. If you're thinking about culinary then I most definitely recommend this course. I not only got the hand on experience and knowledge through in class instruction but I received my level 1 Apprenticeship. Through the instruction of Doug James I really began to love cooking, and moved on to compete in a variety of competitions that I was very successful in. A teacher who taught me the ropes in the kitchen, A chef who pushed me when needed, and A man who helped change my life.
