Alicia Black graduated from Liaison College Barrie Campus in 2008, completing the Cook Basic Level 1 Program.  The Level 1 Program is fifteen weeks in length and enables graduates to start working in a kitchen.  Ms. Black began working at Casino Rama as a third cook.  After a year and a half, she was then presented the opportunity to become Head Chef at a golf course, running the banquets and menus.  As Head Chef she was able to apply what she learned about yields, menu costing and ordering.

Ms. Black now works at Birchmere Retirement Residence as Food Services Supervisor.

Reflecting on her current position and career college experience, she states:

“I love working in Health Care.  I am now looking into getting my Nutritional Management degree.  Thank you for giving me a foundation to build my career.”
