Assiniboine Community College Brandon Campus is offering a new online Dietary Aide program, in partnership with Prairie Mountain Health.
The program is 18 weeks long, and the first session starts in July.
Program Coordinator with Assiniboine, Angela Pearen says there was a need for this type of course in the province.
“The program has been offered many years ago, and then there wasn't anything being offered. In discussions with Prairie Mountain Health, they identified that people are actually going to institutions outside of the province.”
Pearen says because this is an online course, you don’t have to live in Brandon to take it.
“COVID has really taught us how to move some of our programming to online. It sped up the process to look at how we can deliver programs, and reach out to people when we can’t be in person.”
Students who complete the program will receive a Document of Achievement.
