As the nation's largest private sector employer, the restaurant and foodservice industry is the cornerstone of the American economy, of career-and-employment opportunities, and of local communities. We, at the NRA, are focused on enhancing this position by providing Nevada's industry with valuable tools and resources needed to educate our current and incoming employees.
NRA's national affiliate, the National Restaurant Association (NRA) and Educational Foundation (NRAEF) is the premier provider of educational resources, materials, and programs which address attracting, developing and retaining the industry's workforce.
The NRA is also a unique educational provider to the industry because any products purchased from us through the NRAEF helps fund outreach and scholarship activities on both a state and national level. This unique-selling proposition with state restaurant partners allows the NRAEF to consistently create best-in-class products and programs that meet the educational needs of our great industry.
Recently we've seen significant changes in our nation, our industry and within our organization. The NRAEF has embarked on a disciplined strategic planning process seizing the opportunity to undergo tremendous research and focus to determine the most critical educational challenges facing the restaurant and foodservice industry today. Resulting from these strategic efforts, the following three areas have been identified as being key educational needs for the industry: risk, recruitment, and retention.
Risk focuses on food safety through:
ServSafe® Food Safety Certification program - the most widely accepted food safety program among local, state and federal health departments
