Coming Attraction: Coffee with CAFÉ

The Coffee with CAFÉ segment this coming Friday will focus on how different instructors handled the sometimes daunting task of getting their students certified for ServSafe for Managers.

You will hear from 3 educators—a middle school, a tech center, and a college for special needs students-- on how they managed to get their students to pass on their first try!

Join the Zoom program on Friday, April 23rd, at noon Eastern Daylight Savings Time for this twenty-minute session. Q&A will follow the event.

Coffee with CAFÉ segments will be recorded and put on CAFÉ’s YouTube channel, CafeMeetingPlace.com, so you can watch them at a different time and/or use them as part of your classes.
