AIB Education & Research Scholarship

If you’re a small or mid-sized food or beverage business, you know the challenges: resource constraints, competing priorities, and the pressure to meet high food safety expectations. While regular training is a powerful tool to build knowledge, sometimes your team needs more than theory—especially when your facility has unique gaps or constraints.

To help small businesses take action, AIB Education & Research nonprofit is sponsoring a customized, half-day on-site training from AIB International, bringing expert support straight to your plant floor to address your unique food safety needs.
