As part of the memorandum, the colleges met at Niagara College this week to sign an agreement that will enable Okanagan College to offer Niagara College’s Winery and Viticulture Technician curriculum in a format that is customized to the Okanagan region. The curriculum will allow people to train for careers in Canada’s burgeoning wine industry, including winemaker, winery or cellar technician, vineyard manager or laboratory or viticulture technician.
