Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
You want to really learn Italian cooking? Go to Italy! Go to learn the techniques that make Italian cuisine famous around the world. Go to experience the special connection between food and life in Italy.

Here you will have the invaluable opportunity to put theory into practice as you work alongside emerging top talent and serve a public of discerning urban diners at Canada’s new centre for food culture.

 Sonia
Franceschini
Graduated in 2003
Culinary Arts - Italian
After
deciding to
pursue a long-term interest in the restaurant industry, Sonya
Franceschini was immediately drawn to the Italian
Culinary Arts Program at George Brown College, the only
one of its kind in Canada. The reputation of the George Brown
Chef School appealed to her, as did the 4 month externship
in Italy that comprises the second half of the program. After
being accepted in the program and starting school, Sonia was
struck by how small and well organized the classes were. "It
was a highly professional atmosphere" she says . "And because
it's a postgraduate program, everyone was really enthusiastic
to be there." |
