​

ServSafe® is the restaurant industry’s premiere food safety education and training program recognized and accepted by more federal, state and local health jurisdictions than any other food safety training program.
The program covers the flow of food from the time you purchase your products until the meals reach your customers’ tables, and includes topics such as microorganisms that cause foodborne-illness breakouts, proper food storage, and cleaning and sanitizing.

Workforce

Those in the hospitality and tourism industry know that travel can be serious business. Companies in this booming industry employ more than 14 million Americans today, and are projected to create 2 to 3 million more positions in the next six years. If these businesses are to meet America’s growing appetite for travel and recreation, however, they will need access to well-trained talent pools of qualified individuals who are passionate about this field.

"I attend the AHA trade show to check out new products, meet new vendors and visit with old. I love networking to find out how people deal with the same problems I face."
