If you like working with your hands, creating things people can taste, see and enjoy, and taking pride in a job done well, a service trade could be the right fit for you.
Across these programs, most of them a year or less, you learn by doing, from kneading dough and plating dishes in a working kitchen to planting and shaping a landscape from bare ground.
Whether you thrive in the fast pace of a restaurant, early mornings of a bakery or prefer working outdoors, there’s a program that can help you turn your interests into a career.
You enjoy hands-on work, take pride in what you create and want people to notice the difference. You want a reliable, in-demand career but may still be deciding which service trade fits best. You're drawn to working with ingredients, plants, tools and techniques rather than sitting still.
