New Conestoga College program aimed at
youth in Huron and Perth counties
A new program to be launched at
Conestoga College this summer
will provide rural youth with tui-
tion -free training to help them
launch careers in Ontario's food
and beverage industry.
Food Works - A Career Ladder-
ing Program is open to youth
between 15 and 29 years of age
from Perth and Huron counties and
the rural areas of Waterloo Region.
It includes academic upgrading,
career -specific skills training and a
four-month industry placement.
Participants who successfully com-
plete the full program will also
receive a stipend of $500.
According to Kim Moore, man-
ager of Workforce Access Programs
and the Conestoga Career Centre in
Stratford, the program will not only
support young people hoping to
launch successful careers, but will
also address a growing industry
need for qualified workers.
"We know that many of our
young people leave their rural com-
munities believing that there aren't
a lot of employment opportunities,"
said Moore. "At the same time, food
and beverage industry operations
across the region have a critical
need for skilled workers. This pro-
gram will provide participants with
the skills that will enable them to
attain employment in their home
communities."
The program will be deliv-
ered through the Conestoga
Career Centre and the Craig
Richardson Institute of Food
Processing Technology, with
additional training provided
through Conestoga's culinary
education facilities at the
Waterloo campus. Partici-
pants will develop their skills
in such areas as food safety,
food processing and manu-
facturing, knife handling and
meat cutting. All participants
will receive support from a
Career Work Coach to help
