BEMA Convention to tackle labor woes at Workforce Wednesday
The baking industry event is enlisting Arizona State University to address labor issues.
According to BEMA, labor shortages and skill gaps remain pressing issues the baking industry cannot afford to ignore. With this in mind, the organization is partnering with Arizona State University (ASU), Phoenix, to address these important issues via Workforce Wednesday, a program taking place June 21, in conjunction with the 2023 BEMA Convention.
Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the country’s most innovative school, ASU is actively addressing the workforce need though its AZNext Program. The multi-prong approach of AZNext amplifies curriculum for industry-bound students, leads efforts to upskill and reskill the workforce, and assists companies in training their own new labor pools.
