Food Services Worker Program
The Food Service Worker program trains graduates on the key knowledge and skills needed to be an integral part of an integrated healthcare team by providing quality nutritional service in locations such as long Âterm care facilities, hospitals, and special care institutions. This 450 hour program prepares students in important aspects of this field including food preparation, safe food handling, nutritional requirements, communication, and customer service. This program was developed to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and employers for those employed as a Food Services Worker in a Long Term Care facility.
About The Program
The Food Service Worker Online Live (FSWO) program is delivered using three methods that build on each other,
with an emphasis on convenience for our students. This approach enables improved learning effectiveness while
ensuring the students have the competency to succeed in their field of study.
