Foodservice Job Training Programs 101

Join us in Seattle for an up-close learning experience with FareStart leadership of food service job training programs that manage businesses (social enterprise). FareStart has graduated over 2,900 adult and youth trainees since 1992, manages 12 enterprises, and 4 job training programs (adult culinary, adult apprenticeship, youth culinary, and youth barista).

Participants will Learn:

Business Operations

Learn how to incorporate a training model into business operations. Expand your business without compromising student training value and create consistent training opportunities within business lines.

Staffing Models

Establish unique staffing models to create clear communication between training and operations staff. It is imperative to a program's health that all staff members share training goals and utilize strong student evaluation techniques.

Financial Planning and Funding Models for Social Enterprise

Training programs incur additional costs - a double bottom line model differentiating enterprise profit and training costs can determine the health of your business. Learn how to balance your finances with private donors and federal grants from FareStart's Development and Finance department.

Apprenticeship and Wage Progression

Learn about the ups and downs of opening a new training program from FareStart leadership in the new Apprenticeship program launched in 2017. This program is focused on training students with foodservice background to attain higher paying positions and further financial stability.
