If you've picked a career that you enjoy, success is easy and sweet. Speaking of sweet things, everyone likes doughnuts, cakes, pies, and freshly baked bread, right? But some people take it a step further, and learn how to make these delicious baked goods themselves. Are you into baking? Well, you can make a career out of it, and Centennial College can help make that career happen. If you want to get the skills to go with the passion, we can teach it to you with our Baking Skills program. The program takes only two semesters to turn you into a skilled professional, ready to enter the industry. But there’s more that you can be doing than just the baking.
Room to rise (like bread).
If you want to expand your interest in baking to the business side of things, there's room to grow into a management role. Our Pastry Arts Management program will teach you about the business aspects of the profession, including managing resources both material and human, on top of practical baking skills, including how to mass-produce popular confections. And if you're already taking the Baking Skills program, you can complete it, then enter into the third semester of this program, saving you time. The program ends with an internship with one of the school's industry partners, the perfect recipe for networking your way into the industry.
Scholarships sweeten the deal.
If you're planning to enter a baking program, the deal has become sweetened thanks to special scholarship opportunities. Among the different application scholarships available to Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts Students, there’s two that are specifically for Baking and Pastry Arts Management students. It's another example of Centennial College collaborating with industry to provide students with opportunities to advance themselves.
Concoct confections in our new labs.
Where you're getting your baking education is just as important. At our Progress Campus, we have an entire Culinary Arts Centre designed specifically for our Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts programs. Students Baking and Pastry Arts Management, Baking Skills, or any other baking-related Culinary Arts programs will gain access to a state of the art baking lab, stocked with equipment typically used in large-scale baking facilities, meaning you'll be practicing your profession in the exact same environment you'll be working in, giving you real job experience before you graduate, and making you ready to rise through the baking ranks.
