WASHINGTON, DC — The American Bakers Association (ABA) and the American Society of Baking (ASB) announced a collaboration to enhance education opportunities for baking industry professionals.
The partnership will bring ABA’s Bakers Manufacturing Academy courses to the Education Hub, ASB’s learning management system.
“We are actively working to make technical training more accessible and relevant for today’s professionals,” said Eric Dell, ABA president and CEO. “This collaboration marks a new era for the baking industry’s workforce. By integrating ABA’s comprehensive courses into the ASB Education Hub we’re furthering the reach of this essential skillset.”
"This effort is aligned with our strategic vision to deliver training, development, and educational resources to our growing membership and the commercial baking industry at large.” — Kristen Spriggs | executive director | American Society of Baking
The shared access to these education courses not only benefits ABA and ASB members, but serves as an example of the type of collaboration the associations hope to continue.
“ASB is committed to supporting the growth and development of individuals in the baked goods industry,” said Kristen Spriggs, ASB executive director. “With ABA’s courses now available on our platform, we’re able to offer an even broader range of educational tools. This effort is aligned with our strategic vision to deliver training, development, and educational resources to our growing membership and the commercial baking industry at large.”
Samantha Moore, senior director of meeting and education at ABA, called the collaboration a win-win for ABA, ASB and their memberships.
“The availability of ABA’s courses on the ASB platform simplifies the learning process,” Moore shared. “Professionals can now easily access top-notch training and education without having to navigate multiple systems. It’s a game-changer for the industry.”
