“The program just amplified my love for cooking. I definitely want to continue my work in the culinary field and someday I would like to get my Red Seal. The people at Pictou Lodge are great to work with. They all taught me so much. I would definitely recommend this program for other students because it is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”
“The Serve it Up program is a great opportunity for students to get a taste of life in the culinary world. Giving these students a chance to gain hands on experience prior to their post secondary education will put them miles ahead in both skills and knowledge base compared to their peers who did not take advantage of such programs. Furthermore the Serve it Up program is a great way to expose Students to a Trade that provides endless opportunity, and helps employers deal with the current shortage of skilled trades people.”

“The Serve It Up program was a great experience for me, especially the fact that I was able to work in a hotel kitchen learning about hands-on experience and the necessities to become a great chef in the culinary arts.”
