In response to demand for professional cooks, Camosun College is offering tuition-free training spots in its professional cook program

To further reduce barriers, she said, the Foodsafe certification process is built into the course rather than being treated as a prerequisite. Students will also have access to a bus pass, a uniform, and other supports provided by the college and the chefs association.Other perks include personalized knife kits, professional headshots, help with resumé writing, and the chance to chat with a variety of professionals who will visit during the course.

For Hockin, who previously worked as deputy chief of staff for John Horgan when he was premier, the course began as a way to stay busy during her husband’s cancer treatment.
