Great Beginnings Academy (GBA) helps newly hired managers and directors get off to a great start while creating a network of supportive peers. The School Nutrition Team (SNT) explains USDA School Meals Programs requirements while introducing resources and sharing best practices.
 
This training opportunity is prioritized for Food Service Directors and Managers hired within the last 12 months.
 
There were two separate opportunities at the 2023 School Nutrition Summer Training classes to attend Great Beginnings Academy, each lasting one and half days. This training class was dedicated to providing an overview of all critical areas for those new to food and nutrition management roles.
 
The next opportunity to attend Great Beginnings Academy will be in Summer 2024. We hope to see you there!
