Cooks in health care are in demand. The Health Care Cook program is designed to prepare cooks for work in health care settings, such as hospitals, long-term care homes, personal care homes, and private care facilities. You will interact with patients and residents, modifying diets to meet specific texture and nutritional requirements related to medical conditions. You will combine hands-on cooking skills with online theoretical knowledge to flexibly gain valuable health care cooking experience.

The Health Care Cook Certificate is considered as an alternative to the Journeyperson Certification in Saskatchewan Health Authority Cook postings. Individuals hired with the Health Care Cook Certificate will be fully qualified, and be paid at the same rate of pay as a Journeyperson Cook.
