Professional Cook 3 Indigenous Content (PC3IC)
The Professional Cook 3 Indigenous Content (PC3IC) program outline was developed to introduce Indigenous culture through food gathering and preparation, and to bring back traditional knowledge. This program was designed so that apprentices can complete the level of apprenticeship training while learning the Indigenous culture from their specific area.
It is important to note that with respect to cultural and regional differences, Indigenous content may be adapted, but only with the recipes or regional ingredients. The context of the Indigenous content in the program outline must be followed as set forth.
