The Cook Apprenticeship program delivers the in-school technical training for apprentices working toward Red Seal certification as a Cook in Ontario, combining theoretical and practical instruction with part-time, in-class study delivered on a rotating basis according to apprentice numbers at each level. The curriculum is aligned with the Vocational Learning Outcomes of Confederation College's Culinary Management program and follows the apprenticeship standard in effect for apprentices registered on or after January 1, 2019, structured around reportable subjects for flexible delivery. Coursework covers Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) food safety principles, culinary business fundamentals, menu planning and food theory, and workplace safety practices. Graduates who complete all on-the-job training competencies become eligible to write the Certificate of Qualification exam, an inter-provincial Red Seal standard. Apprentices need an employer sponsor and a registered Training Agreement with Skilled Trades Ontario before beginning in-school training, delivered part-time and in person at the Thunder Bay campus.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must be at least 18 years of age (16 in limited cases), have legal permission to work in Canada with a valid Social Insurance Number, and meet the trade's educational requirement, generally Grade 12 or equivalent, though some sponsors accept Grade 10 or equivalent. Applicants need an employer sponsor located in Ontario, which may be a private employer, association, or union, and apply for the apprenticeship through Skilled Trades Ontario once an offer of employment has been received. The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development then drafts a Registered Training Agreement, signed by the apprentice and sponsor, before in-school training begins. This program is not currently available to international students, who would additionally need a valid Social Insurance Number and an employer sponsor to enter an apprenticeship.
