• Detailed Information

  • We provide a Food Prep & Baking Job Training & Placement Program. The Program is 8 weeks, 240 hours, and FREE for youth and adults over 18 in the San Francisco Bay Area. You will learn commercial food preparation and baking along with the job readiness skills essential to meaningful employment.

    The Bread Project’s vision is to lead work-readiness, employment support, and professional development programs for formerly incarcerated, reentry, justice involved individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area, and to be a model for this work nationwide. When adults have a second chance and are able to make a successful transition to employment and have ongoing access to further education to increase their economic opportunities, they improve not only their own lives but those of their families and communities, for generations to come.

    
    

    During COVID, The Bread Project is providing a condensed, five-week intensive Food Prep & Baking Job Training & Placement Program teaching the fundamentals of commercial food prep and baking. The 150 hours of training combines hands-on and online instruction in the technical skills of baking and food prep, and the soft, essential life and job readiness skills. The training is free and supports persons in the Bay Area who face barriers to employment and are part of the reentry justice involved population. Laptops and internet service are provided. On completing the Program, graduates receive their Certificate of Completion, job placement assistance, and 12 months of follow up service and support, as well as lifetime access to our online training program.
