Bu hafta, Ulusal Restoran Birliği Eğitim Vakfı (NRAEF), İleri Aşçılık Eğitim Programı (ACTP) aracılığıyla beş günlük eğitim için Amerika Aşçılık Enstitüsü New York'ta 18 aktif görevli askeri üyeye ev sahipliği yapıyor. ACTP, ülkenin asker ve gazilerinin restoran, yemek servisi ve konaklama sektörüne geçişine yardımcı olmada önemli bir rol oynuyor.
ACTP is held three times each year at The Culinary Institute of America to bolster service members’ culinary performance, understanding, and competencies, as well as maintain a mission-ready workforce. This week’s ACTP event helped mark 71 years of the restaurant industry’s support for the U.S. armed forces. Learn more about the NRAEF’s military programs here.
“It’s fortuitous that in the run up to Veterans Day we have this chance to host these amazing service members and reiterate our commitment to building meaningful initiatives that support workforce readiness and their transition to civilian culinary careers,” said Rob Gifford, president of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. “We are grateful for the sacrifices of our nation’s veterans and their family members, and salute all that they do to serve our country.”
The NRAEF’s military programs focus on training service members in culinary arts and restaurant management; providing training to support military force readiness; career pathways as service members and their families transition to civilian life; and recognizing best-in-foodservice operations each year during the annual Military Foodservice Awards. Current initiatives include:
