UFCW Canada’s Butcher Pre-Apprenticeship Program is a free online course for those interested in beginning a career in meat-cutting.

Students will learn about the important professional skills that will keep you safe on the job in an industry where attention to detail is a must. The retail landscape is a highly competitive market, so knowing tricks-of-the-(merchandising)-trade, coupled with the fundamentals of pricing, will make you a lucrative candidate in any meat department.

Intimate knowledge of your product as a retail meat specialist allows you to bring expert insight into your department’s offerings and gives you an edge when relaying important information to customers.
