答复lgang01同学的咨询。
通过我的了解,在多伦多这里的食品安全相关的就业形式是很不错,如果我要转专业的话,这个是我第一个考虑的。我觉得既然你们两个都是这个背景的要再捡起来肯定是比其他专业容易很多的。
食品方面的,如果是part time的话,可以看看这个。
如果是full time的,就去centennial, 看看这几个。
http://www.centennialcollege.ca/Programs/ProgramOverview.aspx?Program=1607
http://www.centennialcollege.ca/Programs/ProgramOverview.aspx?Program=3631
http://www.centennialcollege.ca/Programs/ProgramOverview.aspx?Program=3620
其中3631的是fast track的,有下面的好处。
After completion of your Centennial program, you will:
•Receive an accelerated diploma in your chosen field of study;
•Obtain job experience with a program field placement;
•Become job ready in a short period of time;
•Belong to a college that will help meet the challenges of the global economy.
如果你想上full time的话,就可以考虑上面的几个比较一下,我比较偏向于3631.是将三年的课压缩到2年完成。
这里food专业最有名最权威的是Guelph大学的http://www.uoguelph.ca/campus/map/foodtech/
你太太有供应链方面的背景,也可以考虑supplier chain方面的专业。Seneca有个短平快的,8个月就毕业的http://www.senecacollege.ca/fulltime/SCM.html, 是full time的,以前这个专业比较好找工作,但是后来进入的人多了,也就竞争激烈了。如果是想上part time的话是这个。

还有要读书的话,你们两个都要做学位认证,这样有些课可以免,做学位认证的话有三个机构都可以。看这里http://www.torontomeet.com/index.php/threads/school-and-learning/item/356-acces-service-plan
希望上面的信息对你有帮助。有问题再回复。
对了,这些专业都有Information Session(介绍会)的,是免费去听的,你可以去听听看。我看都是4月份有介绍会。
我有个亲戚是在这里做食品安全的,他的网站你也可以看看。http://unitedfoodsafety.com/
我刚才又翻出了2011年2月的时候他给我发的邮件里面的一些信息,希望对你有帮助。
