Our “Intro to Cook” job-skills training program is the first phase of a 3-module program called “Dan’s Warehouse” – future training opportunities will be provided in Commercial Driving and Warehouse Operations.
Recruitment, assessment, training and placing of clients in these occupations are the primary goals, along with providing therapeutic counselling, life-skills instruction and secure housing to the participants, some of whom may be affected by mental health issues.
At the end of the course, “Intro to Cook” graduates are offered a 1-month work experience opportunity in a professional kitchen. Our staff work with the student to help them find permanent employment, or to register for higher levels of training offered at BC colleges and universities.
