After a successful launch of the Employment Transition Kitchen Assistant program at NIC, it’s returning to the Campbell River campus.
The program teaches students the skills they need to work in the foodservice industry. It is designed to fill the gaps of businesses looking for great employees to fill entry-level positions.
Students spend 15 weeks completing employability coursework and certifications, including WHMIS and Food Safe. They then move into the NIC teaching kitchen to complete six weeks before beginning a month-long practicum.
Local Executive Chef, Daniel Dycke, from SoCal Restaurant says the restaurant industry has a real need for trained and invested entry-level staff.
“I’ve seen first hand how diversity can create a strong team,” said Dycke. “It’s been a rewarding experience to work with the students in the Kitchen Assistant program and I look forward to doing so again.”
