Today, we welcomed @floridaapd (Agency for Persons with Disabilities) for our on-site audit at Independence Landing. Their team toured the community and had the opportunity to meet several of our residents.
The Contract Monitoring team conducted a comprehensive review and provided quality assurance for our Culinary Workforce Development Program. They observed our classroom instruction, on-the-job training, and enjoyed lunch at Press Café, which will officially open to the public on February 9th.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting the APD team, and we are truly honored to have their continued support. Our program utilizes a tried-and-true formal curriculum certified by the National Restaurant Association—focused on real people, real training, and real impact.
Thank you, APD, for your partnership and commitment to the success of our participants.
