Food and Nutrition Management Diploma

One of the unique features of the FNM program is the emphasis on nutrition. You will learn about changing dietary and nutrient needs throughout the lifecycle and how those changes affect health, particularly for seniors at home and in long term care settings. You will also learn how to conduct nutrition assessments and modify foods to fit therapeutic and specialized diets. This focus on nutrition ensures that graduates are well-equipped to put nutrition on the menu, an increasingly important aspect of food and nutrition management.

The program also focuses on diversity. There will be chances for you to acquire knowledge and contemplate (de)colonization, the viewpoints, traditions, and culinary practices of Indigenous nations in Canada, as well as actions to contribute to reconciliation through food. Your programming recognizes that food is medicine, which can go a long way towards healing.

One of the key features of the program is our community partnerships. We maintain strong relationships with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, which allows students to participate in work placement experiences in the second year of the program. We have also built strong partnerships within the community and have incorporated these partnerships into your programming by way of quantity food production for elementary schools and the Friendship Inn and in-services and communication skill development with the Global Gathering Place. This highly regarded aspect of the program allows you to gain real-world experience in the field and build industry contacts.
