University online program for future food processing managers
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has built an on-line certificate program to bring food processing professionals up to speed on food safety, processing and management. The three-module program’s intent is to give future managers essential skills and provide a background where everyone in a food plant is speaking the same language.
“The Food Processing Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has recognized our industry’s major management challenges, and it has worked with industry input to provide a solution,” says Gordon Smith, ConAgra Foods vice president. “Its online Food Processing Management Certificate Program will allow us to establish our next generation of supervisors and managers relatively easily.”
