The upcoming course, which will be led by Steve Olson, of the North American Meat Processors Association (NAMP) and formerly of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is based on a partnership between the Beef Information Centre and NAMP and covers beef, veal, lamb, pork and processed meats.
The program has already attracted reps from M&M Meat Shops, Sysco, New Food Classics and Tim Hortons. “The Centre of the Plate Training course was a great opportunity to further my knowledge in the meat industry so that I can make better buying decisions for Tim Hortons,” said Mike Febbraro, Strategic Sourcing, TDL Group Corp. “The skills I learned in this course will help me find ways to optimize proper meat cuts to offer best value for our restaurant owners.”
Students will also get a copy of NAMP’s new, expanded Meat Buyer’s Guide during the program, which runs from Feb. 23 to 25.
