Description

The purpose of this Request forApplications (RFA) is to competitively award ONE grant of up to $2 million provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141) to allow allied professional associations to develop a training program for school nutrition personnel that focuses on school food service meal preparation and workforce development. It is anticipated that this will be a one-time initiative. School Nutrition Training Grant for Allied Professional Organizations funds will assist allied professional organizations in planning, developing, promoting, delivering, and evaluating a workforce development and training initiative to provide skills-based training and technical assistance for school nutrition professionals to strengthen school meals program operators’ competencies, knowledge, and skills within one or more of the eight (8) key functional areas. The Institute of Child Nutrition conducted research to inform the development of and published the Competencies, Knowledge, and Skills for School Nutrition Managers resource which describes the key functional areas, competencies, knowledge, and skills needed for school nutrition managers to effectively operate school nutrition programs. The eight identified functional areas that applicants may select from when developing and delivering the workforce development and training initiative as part of this grant are as follows: Meal Preparation and Service Nutrition and Meal Management Marketing, Communication, and Customer Service Procurement and Inventory Management Financial Management and Accountability Personnel Management Sanitation, Safety, and Security Facility and Property Management
