The Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) today introduced the details of a key session in the PROCESS EXPO UNIVERSITY program titled “Where Have All the Bakers Gone?” Presented by Dave Krishock of Kansas State University, this session will take place on Thursday, September 17th at 2:30 pm in Campus 2 on the PROCESS EXPO show floor.
“According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics nearly one in four American workers will soon be 55 or older,” said Ken Hagedorn, Chairman of the FPSA Bakery Council and Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Naegele, Inc. “In fact, we think this trend might even be worse in our industry given the fact that careers in the food and beverage industry do not get the same attention among millennials as some of the sexier fields. Professor Krishock will address this issue head on and provide insight into how food processors can solve their staffing issues.”
