Chef Ann Foundation’s
Healthy School Food Pathway (HSFP) program is a work-based learning experience that aims to prepare individuals for job opportunities in healthy, scratch-cook school food programs. Supporting workforce readiness and professional growth for new and incumbent school food operators, this program offers professionals the resources, hands-on training, and network to become confident leaders that have in-depth knowledge and experience in creating and running successful scratch-cook meal programs.
The Chef Ann Foundation (CAF) is currently offering a Pre-Apprenticeship and Apprenticeship in California and a national Fellowship. Together, these programs will support education and workforce development for healthy school food in California and across the country. Incumbent school food service staff, community college students and displaced workers will receive education and paid hands-on experience in healthy K-12 school meal programs.
The HSFP program is quickly growing and looking for additional K-12 Districts to host Pre-Apprentices, Apprentices and Fellows! As a host district, you will:
- Receive assistance in day-to-day operations
- Build a connection with local colleges for professional recruitment
- Grow the skill-set of current K-12 workers who participate in the program
- Help promote a career path for those interested in healthy school food
If your district is interested in serving as a learning-focused worksite in the Healthy School Food Pathway Program, please fill out the form below. Someone from the CAF team will then reach out to the email provided regarding next steps.
