AFPA is a connecting force in Alberta’s food and beverage processing industry. We work closely with government and industry stakeholders to keep members informed of the latest issues and trends impacting our industry.

Spending Money on Third-Party Training?

UPDATE: As of August 7, 2024, the Canada-Alberta Job Grant is not accepting new applications until March 31, 2025.

The Canada-Alberta Job Grant provides direct financial support for employers wishing to purchase third-party training. Currently projects are being approved in less than one month. All AFPA training courses are eligible. Many members have been very successful with this grant program. Training is intended for employed individuals acquiring new skills for their current job, or to prepare employees for a promotion or a new role. The employer must have a job available at the end of the training for the individual(s) being trained. Training must not exceed one year and typically only one application is approved per year.

New Webinar Explains Air Quality Standards for Food Sector

Following a revision to the Global Standard for Food Safety earlier this year, Camfil and BRC have launched an instructive webinar designed to give a deeper understanding of the new indoor air quality standards, detailing what these changes mean in practice. Available for free and on-demand, the jointly-issued webinar puts air quality standards into context for those responsible for managing product safety and quality, giving a clear understanding of what is needed to maintain the highest possible standards of food safety and pass BRCGS audits.
