At NAIT, Baking and Pastry Arts classes begin early in the morning, which is reflective of typical work hours in the industry. The environment can be hot and humid, using ovens, stoves, knives, and other bakery equipment, and often requires standing for long periods of time. Baking may involve the following: use of basic math skills such as measurement calculation, clear and concise written and verbal communication, and an ability to adhere to public health and safety standards. Bakery environments may involve lifting and moving objects up to 20 kg (45 lbs.). (Please contact NAIT should you wish to discuss possible accommodations). Maintaining professionalism including respect, responsibility and accountability is key in this industry.
