A new kind of graduate
Our Bakery Operations Manager Training model equips trainees to manage and operate future bakeries. Trainees learn every aspect of managing a bakery, including baking, inventory, production, sales, marketing, human resources, and accounting.
In August of 2018, The Women’s Bakery launched the second Bakery Operations Manager training, which covered 80+ hours of theoretical and practical education. We hosted five participants from across the our bakery network.
This is the story of that class. This is bread power.

At the end of the program, all trainees passed the exam with over 90% accuracy, demonstrating a strong ability to learn and apply their knowledge to future managerial endeavors.

Certificates are power. Our training program was accredited by the Workforce Development Authority in Rwanda in 2018.
We can’t wait to see what our Bakery Operations Manager graduates do next!
