Sessions cover topics such as electronic record-keeping\, workforce training\, chemical safety\, food adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, audit readiness\, product development\, environmental air quality\, and alternative protein innovations. The series is designed for food producers\, processors\, seafood businesses\, entrepreneurs\, quality assurance staff\, extension educators\, students\, faculty\, regulatory professionals\, and technical specialists\, with particular relevance for those working with food safety training\, compliance systems\, seafood hazards\, product development\, and emerging technologies in food processing. \nFood businesses and professionals face increasing regulatory expectations\, evolving hazards\, and rapid technological change. By addressing real-world topics such as digital compliance systems\, chemical handling\, adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, and audit preparation\, the series helps participants stay current and make informed\, practical decisions. Participants will gain practical tools\, real-world case studies\, and actionable strategies related to training programs\, compliance documentation\, safe chemical use\, adulteration prevention\, seafood safety\, product innovation\, and environmental controls—knowledge they can immediately apply in their operations\, classrooms\, or regulatory work. \nElectronic and In-Person Food Safety Training \nEffective training is a cornerstone of a strong food safety culture. This session will compare the advantages and limitations of electronic (e-learning) and in-person training modalities. We will explore how to design engaging and instructionally sound content for each format\, including interactive e-learning modules\, virtual instructor-led training (VILT)\, and hands-on classroom sessions. The webinar will also cover strategies for blended learning approaches\, methods to assess training effectiveness (e.g.\, quizzes\, observational audits)\, and how to maintain training records to demonstrate workforce competency to auditors and inspectors. \nTo Register and Receive Webinar Zoom Link URL:/calendar/event/food-safety-webinar-series-electronic-and-in-person-food-safety-training/ CATEGORIES:Conferences & Workshops,Online Events ORGANIZER;CN="91±¬ÁÏ Cooperative Extension":MAILTO:extension@maine.edu LOCATION:/calendar/event/food-safety-webinar-series-electronic-and-in-person-food-safety-training/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260403T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260403T163000 DTSTAMP:20260519T040554 CREATED:20260316T173407Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260316T173407Z UID:10007025-1775228400-1775233800@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Is a Basic Income Guarantee Good for Workers?
