A Letter from Admissions
“We’d love to hear from you!”
My name is Bob Friesen and I’m the Admissions Officer for the Stratford Chefs School. We offer a two-year culinary apprenticeship program in Stratford, Ontario, where we invite world-renowned chefs to train with our students.
I’d like to schedule a visit to your school this year to share a short presentation with you about our culinary program. Alternatively, if you would like to visit Stratford and see our new facilities, we’d love to offer you a tour and presentation about who we are and what we do.
I’m also very interested in participating at your next career/job fair. If you’re hosting such an event (or something similar) at your school or in your area, please share my contact information with your coordinator(s).
Contact me at bfriesen@stratfordchef.com and let me know a possible date when I can visit your school or schedule a group tour here in Stratford.
Yours in food,
Bob Friesen
