Food Processing at KSS
Food Processing
KSS offers the Food Processing SHSM program and offers a variety of courses at the
workplace, apprenticeship, college and university level.
We have an industrial kitchen, an Indigenous food garden and close-proximity to the
community gardens. We are working on creating a greenhouse/garden space on the school site to support the program. We are motivated within the school to find innovative ways to feed the student population.
With the recent development of food processing factories in the city as well as greenhouses and existing food processing plants in the area, there is the potential for sector partnerships as well as coop placements. Additionally, there is opportunity for collaboration between KSS students in Food Processing SHSM and students in the Hospitality and Tourism SHSM at LCVI.
