Program Highlights
The industry-specific course material focuses on skills that are not easy to acquire on the job, such as nutrition-based theory, effective communication skills for leaders, and the fundamentals of human and financial management.
This two- semester program includes four online courses in the first semester and three in the second semester. During each semester, students will hone their new skills and knowledge through a field placement with a concurrent consolidation course. These field placements allow participants to complete all components of the program within their communities of residence (subject to the community having eligible institutional settings.)

A unique feature of this program is the inclusion of two placements with concurrent consolidation courses. The placement starts mid-way through the first semester, so students can start implementing what they have learned. The consolidation course allows students to share their experience, learn from each other and receive valuable instructor feedback. The second placement will be a culmination of all the skills and knowledge acquired in this program.
