Why should I support FoodGrads interactive platform?

We are bringing the industry together. Currently it’s segmented depending on sector and each sector has associations and memberships. While we support and celebrate the range of associations (all 150 of them in Canada and thousands in the US), we are confident that a place to attract people to the industry as a whole, regardless of the entry point—then point them in the right direction—providing guidance and resources is missing, until now.

In addition, becoming an Education Partner allows FoodGrads to provide training, mentorship and information to candidates which means the industry has better quality candidates to hire and an abundance candidate pool.

Employers In The Industry

We don’t have a graduate recruitment strategy, can FoodGrads be that for us?

Yes, we can fill that gap.

Most companies do not have a specific student or graduate recruitment strategy in place. The reasons vary, but the most common is that the majority of employers in this sector are SME’s (small and medium enterprises) so they have limited resources. Does that apply to you?
We know SME’s offer an excellent training ground for students and recent grads.

In a large organization, the chances are you will work in one department and gain a deeper understanding of that function, but what if you are not entirely convinced on the path you want to take, should you get to ‘try before you buy’ to a certain degree too?
We are advocating for you. We point out that in a small to medium sized company employees might ‘wear more hats’ and cross train in different departments, to gain a better understanding of the industry.

It can be challenging to keep ahead of training, succession planning, onboarding especially with limited resources, so we strive to keep you informed so you are able to put your best foot forward with new hires.

How can I get involved with FoodGrads?

Thank you for asking We are bringing the industry together. We are connecting educators from grade 11 & 12 to post-secondary institutions to the food and beverage industry.

Having a deep focus in this sector, we know up to now it’s very siloed and segmented and each sector has associations and memberships. While we support and celebrate the range of associations (non-profits, government programs etc.) this can get confusing.

We are confident that a place to attract people to the industry as a whole, regardless of the entry point—then point them in the right direction—providing guidance and resources is missing, until now.

Back to your question, there are lots of ways to get involved but it depends on who you are. Are you a student, graduate, or jobseeker?

career fairs, mentorship, training to name a few—check the list of schools-Please click here and if your school is not listed, ask them why not!!
