Restaurants reflect incredible variety – from the guests they serve, to the flavors and menus they create, to the backgrounds and experiences of the people they employ. Join this webinar to explore the intersection of cultural intelligence and second-chance hiring. Learn how Foundation programs like Restaurant Ready and HOPES are leaning into the unique strengths of individuals with justice involvement to enhance and build the restaurant workforce. You’ll leave with an understanding of MFHA’s work to build cultural intelligence in the industry as well as the tangible ways Foundation programs are bringing this concept to life.

Whether you’re an operator, workforce partner, educator, or jobseeker advocate, these sessions will equip you with strategies to attract, develop, and retain the next generation of industry talent.
