The internship is integral to the Culinary Arts program at The Culinary Institute of Canada. This experience allows the student to build on the skills developed in their first year of training. Our industry partners have indicated a need for a skill-based workforce, and this internship focuses on integrating a student's educational development into a real-world work environment. The student will also be able to integrate themselves into a culinary team environment and see firsthand what the culinary world has to offer and how they will fit into their chosen career. The student will identify and select a work site between their first year and second year of training and complete the required work hours during this work term. Each student will complete a personal portfolio of their experience to document and better illustrate to themselves the experiences they have had during the internship period.
