Program overview & description:
Professional Butchery Techniques is an Ontario College Certificate program that will provide students with the comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge to be successful in the growing meat processing industry.

Additionally, students will learn how to package and market meat products for resale.
The program will have a strong emphasis on sanitation and food safety. Throughout the two-semester program, students will have the opportunity both to work substantially in the lab, practicing hands-on skills, and to build customer service and entrepreneurial skills by participating in the launch and operation of a small business: a full-service retail meat outlet.
