Freshway Foods is announcing that key members of the company's operations management will be completing a Food Science Program from Wright State University.
The associates will earn Certificates in Food Systems Management from the university as part of an ongoing partnership. They attend classes at the company's headquarters in Sidney, OH as well as at Wright State University's Lake Campus in Celina, OH.
“We’ve had the opportunity to partner with Wright State and we see immediate and sustained benefits in the program. Freshway supported the development of the curriculum, sees tremendous value in it, and has integrated the program as part of our overall strategy. It’s a win-win situation that gives our leaders additional skills and provides a significant benefit to our organization and our customers,” said Tony Arnold, Director of Human Resources for Freshway Foods.
