also be completed virtually, to ensure persons throughout the country can attain the necessary food handling knowledge and certification. Participants will also be trained in international standard packaging requirements. Participants will be able to meet challenges with a systematic approach to
quality food production, as per food manufacturing services.
We have designed a list of programs to directly address the current knowledge gaps locally.

Participants enrolled in the program will go through an intense bootcamp exercise specifically
designed to get their products ready for distribution. The initial program will consist of guest lecturers, industry experts and will be led by trained facilitators.
