Food safety training opens doors for hospitality workers

02nd Sep 2025

Walk into almost any café, bakery or restaurant in the New England region and you’ll find staff working hard behind the scenes to keep food safe, fresh and delicious. But those skills don’t just happen in the kitchen - they’re taught, practiced, and certified. That’s where the Guyra Adult Learning Association (GALA) is stepping in, helping locals gain the qualifications that open doors to employment in the food industry.
Food safety training may sound technical, but at its heart it’s about people - making sure families can trust the food they eat and ensuring businesses thrive with confidence. For those starting out, GALA’s Food Safety Certificate provides the basics of handling, preparing and serving food safely. For anyone aiming higher, the Food Safety Supervisor Certificate offers the skills and recognition to take on leadership roles.
Local entrepreneur James Warren understands just how important these qualifications are.
“I’ll be doing both courses as they are essential requirements for industry, so I encourage anyone looking to get into hospitality to do both courses,” he said.
For many students, completing the training is about more than just meeting industry regulations. It’s about building confidence, knowing they can step into a café or community kitchen and do the job well. Several past participants have gone on to find work quickly in local cafés, restaurants and catering businesses, with many employers noting that the certificate gives applicants an immediate advantage.
Stories like these are becoming more common, as GALA continues to bridge the gap between training and employment.
GALA has been part of Guyra’s story for decades, providing learning opportunities that change lives and strengthen the community. These food safety programs are just one more way the association is helping locals find fresh opportunities close to home.
