This interactive 12-week program is led by food industry experts, chefs, product development specialists, and industry insiders who will walk you through the realities of launching and scaling a food product.

This comprehensive course typically costs $1,000 per person, but thanks to funding from the Province of Manitoba, it’s available for just $250.
