The Bread Project

The Bread Project is a social enterprise founded in 2000 with a mission to empower individuals with limited resources to achieve self-sufficiency in the Food and Beverage industry. The organization provides technical job training programs in Bakery Production, incorporating soft skills instruction and placement assistance. Through their social enterprises, such as cafes, catering services, and wholesale bakeries, the Bread Project offers on-the-job training, contributes to financial sustainability, and creates pathways for program participants to transition into new careers. The Bread Project's focus on addressing the unmet demand for skilled workers in the food production industry sets it apart in the Bay Area. Its unique approach includes collaboration with community organizations to provide comprehensive support services for trainees, aiming to enhance recruitment, placement, and retention. This innovative strategy aims to contribute to both the social and economic well-being of its trainees, as well as the larger community.
