COOKING

A highlight of this program is the inclusion of a guest speaker from Georgian College, who will share valuable insights and expertise to enrich the learning experience.

The course will culminate in a grand finale: the ‘Skill Showcase Luncheon‘. Participants will have the unique opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to two family members or friends. It’s a chance to celebrate progress and showcase the skills acquired during the program.

Supportive Learning Environment:

Our dedicated and trained staff will provide a supportive learning experience with a low student-to-staff ratio of 3:1 and small class sizes. This ensures that each participant receives personalized attention and guidance throughout the course. Participants will also receive the recipe in two forms; one typed and one adaptive, for individuals who might not have strong reading skills.
