Who is the target audience for School Nutrition Industry Boot Camp?

School Nutrition Industry Boot Camp is recommended for industry representatives who are new to the school nutrition profession.

What content will be covered?

For five Tuesday, attendees will immerse themselves in the nuts and bolts of child nutrition. We will talk about meal pattern requirements, school nutrition trends, procurement, USDA Foods, financial management and more.

The highlight of every Industry Boot Camp is the Directors' Panel, which includes valuable time with some of the top foodservice directors in the nation.

How will the programming be delivered?

The entire program will be delivered virtually, through SNA’s Training Zone, with links to connect to Zoom, live/in real-time. It will be interactive, and there will be plenty of time for questions and networking. Industry Boot Camp works best if everyone attends the live programming. We recommend attendees have their cameras on during the event.

A blend of live chat engagement, content and polls, previously recorded and live lessons, and live district director panel discussions. Live discussion at the end of each day will include Q&A, attendee brainstorming and idea sharing. Each day’s 2-hour program + bonus content will be available On-Demand.

What if something comes up and I miss the live event?

The program will be available on-demand for 90 days following the live event.

I attended Industry Boot Camp—is this the same thing?

Yes, School Nutrition Industry Boot Camp (formerly known as Industry Boot Camp-Level 1) is a virtual seminar covering the fundamentals of school nutrition. Designed for industry representatives and as a refresher for seasoned professionals who want a deeper dive into the complex K-12 school nutrition business.

I am an operator; can I still take this Industry Boot Camp?

The programming is designed specifically for industry professionals. In the past, operators have found the information does not apply to them. Therefore, we no longer recommend it to operators.

I am a patron; can I still take advantage of a free Industry Boot Camp registration?

Yes, a coupon code will be sent to each participating patron company to use for one free registration, per company. Can't find the code? Reach out to Education@Schoolnutrition.org.
