Students enrolled in any of the Culinary Arts

programs are enabled with a sound knowledge

of the basics of professional cooking in a

commercial sized teaching kitchen. To become

a qualified chef requires years of work

experience and dedication. The Culinary

program offerings at SDSS provide solid

experiences on which to build both personal and

professional skills. Students who excel in this

program are in high demand, and many have

attained top-level positions in five-star hotels,

restaurants, resorts, and private clubs in

Canada and other parts of the world.

Graduates have also found employment in

institutional kitchens, hospitals, and high

paying oil pipeline camps. Chefs in the industry

recognize the expertise of the Culinary Arts

graduates and regularly contact the Culinary

Instructor when employment opportunities

arise locally, nationally, and internationally.

Though the program is high-volume, large scale

and dynamic, students are encouraged to take

courses for their life skills benefits, tasting

experiences, and the social/tactile atmosphere.
