Follow on Google News | Safe Food Solutions Teams with Campus Foodservice to Streamline Food Safety TrainingSavvy College & University Foodservice Programs Increase Training Efficiency While Reducing Costs
By: Safe Food Solutions, LLC According to a recent study conducted by Technomic, Inc., “62% of college and university students purchase food or beverages from on-campus foodservice operations at least once a week and 20% do so at least once a day”. To make certain that campus foodservice is effectively meeting these needs and doing so in a highly efficient and safe manner, Safe Food Solutions provides its online food safety training program, Basic Food Safety eStart™, to college and university foodhandlers on-demand, from any computer with an Internet connection. This connectivity not only provides flexibility and ease-of-use in training, but allows for the College/University to network its locations, monitor the overall training activity of its foodhandlers and track individual employee progress. Perhaps most importantly, when they embrace technology-based e-Learning in their foodservice programs, colleges can lower costs while delivering a consistent and yet flexible solution. At under $5/per foodhandler, implementation of Safe Food Solutions’ online food safety training and accompanying Learning Management System actually cuts costs at most campuses by up to 80%. A foodservice administrator from Penn State University, a Safe Food Solutions’ customer since 2007, noted the program, “saves time and is convenient for the students and office staff. It cuts down the amount of information to disseminate during orientation and training programs. It is easy for us and convenient for the students as well.” Michael Langan, Professional Development Manager for Ferris State University stated, “We hope to provide a training program that is embraced by the college students because it is in a format that is familiar and friendly to them.” And added Aleta Kibit, Dining Services Coordinator at Northern Michigan University, “having it online allows these employees to do it as they have time. It also allows for tons of flexibility in its usage.” “We are very excited to be working with the campus foodservice market to educate their foodhandlers,” End
