I Am Looking For:

Online Trainings

These resources are self-paced and can include online learning modules, archived webinar recordings, and more. They are also mobile accessible.

In Person Trainings

These opportunities are scheduled in-person trainings hosted by CDE School Nutrition.

Colorado School Nutrition Unit and LiveWell Colorado (now Nourish Colorado!)  Meal Quality Training #2

Join us for our second in a four part series of interactive meal quality trainings! Training #2 is designed to highlight ways that you can use things like fresh produce and homemade salad dressings within the meals you serve no matter what type of meal service you are doing. It is also focused on evaluating varying presentation techniques, ideas for special diets, and examining best practices and creative ways to efficiently assemble your meals. Food Service Directors and Kitchen Managers would both benefit from attending this training. We are constantly working to design engaging and interactive trainings that are built off of your participation, even virtually! We look forward to ‘seeing’ you!
