Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) Regulations is the process that ensures the quality of a product by establishing manufacturing procedures making certain that food is safe and has been prepared, packed, and stored under hygienic conditions.
Food manufacturers must comply with cGMP’s through new regulations to be compliant with FSMA.
cGMP’s are critical, not only to FSMA, but to every food safety and quality certification.
They are audited by third party food safety auditors and are considered prerequisites.
The training will cover the core requirements, changes to former requirements and best practices on how to achieve compliance. Participants will learn how to handle FDA and third party Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspections.
The training will also outline how to interact effectively with investigators so that organizations can not only react to inspections, but anticipate them as well.

• Actionable Implementation: Develop practical action plans to address gaps in QMS/EMS systems.
• Scenario-Based Learning: Utilize hands-on exercises to simulate audit preparations under new requirements.
• Transition Planning: Understand the 3-year transition timeline (typically leading to 2029 deadlines).
Major Standards Updates Covered (2026-2027)
• ISO 9001:2026 (Expected Sept 2026): Focuses on quality culture, ethical leadership, risk-based thinking, and digital transformation.
• ISO 14001:2026 (Expected April 2026): Emphasizes climate change impacts (Clause 4.1), life-cycle perspective (4.3), and change management (6.3).
Key Themes for 2026-2027 Compliance
This NJMEP webinar will emphasize that compliance is shifting from a one-time audit to continuous, proactive management.
• Climate & Sustainability: Mandatory assessment of climate change risks and integration with ESG principles.
• Leadership Accountability: Top management must show personal involvement, particularly in environmental performance.

6/17, 6/18, 6/24, 6/25/26
About Course:
Moving into a position of authority means meeting new challenges, taking on new responsibilities, and mastering new skills. It may also mean learning to manage across cultural and language differences. New Managers can often be overwhelmed by new responsibilities and anxious about the transition from “coworker” to “boss.”
Workers who have recently become supervisors often worry about the way others will react to their new supervisor status … have concerns about keeping up with a tougher workload … and wonder how to handle the new tasks they will be faced with: hiring, disciplinary action, managing change, even firing.
A program to ease the transition …
This supervisory training course was specifically designed to address the needs of anyone who is new to managing others, with a special focus on those managing in a multicultural workplace. The content of this course will provide a powerful new set of skills, strategies, and techniques for dealing with the issues you will encounter as you take on your new position and move forward in your career.
You will find out how to relate well to former peers who are now your subordinates, and you’ll learn the communication skills that will help you handle these changing relationships in a way that’s comfortable for everyone. You’ll discover secrets for motivating and encouraging people to do their “personal best” for you, and find out how to discipline firmly and fairly, without creating resentment. This supervisory training will show you how to positively influence the behavior of your workers.
In this workshop you’ll learn:

How to communicate more effectively as a new supervisor
When to be flexible, and when to stand firm
How to build trust and gain respect
Strategies for motivating others to achieve results
The truth about discipline — how to handle uncomfortable situations
What every new supervisor and manager should know about hiring and firing
Time management skills that really work
And much, much more!

Class covers the following areas: differences between cleaning and sanitation, the four factors of cleaning (TACT WINS), hygienic design, seven steps of sanitation, wet vs. dry cleaning, SSOPs and more! Course also touches on broader categories of cGMP and allergens in the context of cleaning and sanitation. The participant will receive a certificate for successfully completion of the training after passing the written knowledge test at the end of the training class.
Cleaning versus Sanitizing:
The first step in Sanitation Control is to understand the difference between cleaning and sanitizing.

· Sanitizing reduces the microorganisms on surfaces
An area must be cleaned before it can be sanitized. You can’t sanitize dirt!

How AI is Changing the Way Your Customers Buy (And What to Do About It)
2026-06-18 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
6/18/2026
Your buyers have a new secret advisor — and it’s not your sales team. It’s AI.
Every day, buyers are asking tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews the very questions they used to ask you:
• “Who are the best suppliers for [your product/service]?”
• “What problems should I watch out for with [your solution]?”
• “How does [your company] compare to [your competitor]?”
If you’re not showing up in those answers, you’re invisible — and AI is pointing buyers to your competitors instead. You don’t control what AI says. But you can shape the answers buyers see.
In this practical, plain-English webinar, you’ll get a clear plan to stay visible, trusted, and chosen. You will learn:
• Why traditional SEO and marketing tactics are failing in the AI era
• The five questions AI answers for your buyers — and how to shape those answers
• What AI actually looks for when deciding which companies to recommend
• A practical, non-technical roadmap to turn AI into your competitive advantage
