Cohort II
Training Plan
In February, we launched our second cohort of our Learning To FLY: Advanced Culinary Training program. After completing three successful base graduations during the Fall of 2021, we were excited to launch our next training, with seven bases thus far. 1. Welcome, Recipes & Measurements 2. Knife Skills 3. Identifying & Using Herbs 4. Gravies & Sauces 5. Grilling, Sautéing & Frying 6. Marinades & Rubs 7. Cold Prep 8. Steaming & Boiling 9. Roasting, Braising, & Stewing 10. Baking 11. Garnishing & Presentation
During this six month training program, Airmen will complete 11 courses (listed to the left) and conclude with a graduation ceremony where they will prepare a culinary presentation for their leadership. After our graduations in the Fall, we requested feedback from our teams and Airmen. Using this valuable information we developed additional course materials for cohort II. These materials include: ▪ Training videos linked in the student handbooks, using QR codes ▪ Digital student handbook ▪ Manager’s Guide for implementation ▪ Video recording being created during current courses so students can watch a missed course or recap

Let’s Go! FLY by Sodexo
Making healthy eating easy and accessible and even fun is essential to our dining facility experience. Last fall, we began launching our Healthy Rewards Program at all our FLY by Sodexo dining facilities. The program is built into our FLY Sodexo mobile app. Airmen earn points for eating Go For Green green-coded food items. Then they can redeem their points for great prizes. At each station, menu item identifier cards or window clings have a Go For Green color code icon located beside the menu item name. If they choose to eat the green-coded food items, they can earn points by scanning a QR code at check-out. We also teamed up with the base’s dietitians to help promote the program and have table events to support their individual nutrition goals.
