Take, for example, Kentucky Fried Chicken\u2019s VR fry cook training simulation. Whereas fry cooks were once trained by experienced staff members, as new employees go into KFC for their first day of training, they don a VR headset. They then find themselves in an escape-room scenario, and must successfully and correctly fry up a bucket of chicken before they can escape. A phantom Col. Sanders heckles them throughout. But this week, eLearning has entered a realm in which knowledge is usually held by grandparents and passed down secretively: baking.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the American Institute of Baking, in partnership with Alchemy Academy, announced the launch of the Baking Specialist Online Collection, a series of nine learning modules to help train new bakers in the arts of the oven. Five of the nine courses represent core methods. They include Baker\u2019s Math and Science, Bread Quality, Bread Manufacturing Process, Bread Troubleshooting, and Function of Ingredients. The remaining four modules are considered specialty items. Each focuses on one of the following: pan breads, hamburger buns, hearth breads, and tortillas.<\/p>\n<h1>Mind the Skills Gap<\/h1>\n<p>This course might sound trivial and whimsical, but the fact of the matter is it was created in response to a real problem. We\u2019ve all heard about the skills gap in the tech industry, but in the world of baking, a gap in baking knowledge is even more pressing. While it\u2019s difficult to quantify, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asbe.org\/assets\/1\/7\/ABA_Workforce_Gap_Final_Report_061516.pdf\">recent report<\/a> states, \u201cAs many as 700,000 jobs will be created due to natural business growth. And an estimated 2.7 million jobs will be vacated as a result of retirements.\u201d According to the report, 87% currently struggle to fill new jobs, train existing personnel, and replace retiring employees. While many of those jobs are more in the manufacturing sector, nearly everyone involved in the process needs some knowledge of baking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4686 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/life-in-the-bakery-1024x589.jpg\" alt=\"skills gap\" width=\"608\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/life-in-the-bakery-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/life-in-the-bakery-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/life-in-the-bakery-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/life-in-the-bakery-661x380.jpg 661w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/life-in-the-bakery.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/>In answer to this impending skills gap, many commercial bakers expect automation to play a significant role in the near future. But the knowledge of automated manufacturing coupled with baking is a rare confluence in a professional. Many companies expect they will need to build their workforce from the bottom up.<\/p>\n<h1>Taking Care of the Baking<\/h1>\n<p>\u201cAs more and more professional bakers are retiring, the industry faces a significant knowledge gap,\u201d said AIB President and CEO Andre Biane <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qualityassurancemag.com\/article\/-aib-and-alchemy-academy-partner-for-online-bakery-training\/\">in a release<\/a>. \u201cThe eLearning courses deliver the knowledge and understanding that bakers need to drive higher productivity and reduce waste during production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The course is offered via Alchemy Academy\u2019s platform. The company focuses primarily on workforce training in the food industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AIB baking courses make it really easy for new and experienced bakery production staff to learn the fundamentals of commercial bread production and help advance their careers,\u201d said Alchemy Chief Strategy Officer Raj Shah in a release. \u201cWe are proud to partner with AIB International in this important endeavor to meet the skills gap in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While many consider the clamoring about the growing skills gap in the tech industry to be hyperbole, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/s\/608707\/the-myth-of-the-skills-gap\/\">or even myth<\/a>, significant evidence suggests that other industries are set to undergo significant growing pains. Sectors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/pages\/manufacturing\/articles\/boiling-point-the-skills-gap-in-us-manufacturing.html\">manufacturing<\/a> and transportation are set to experience an automatized revolution. Skills needed won&#8217;t necessarily extend to the further depths of computer science. But they will require a confluence of skills&#8211;for example, manufacturing, robotics, and baking. While that reality has not yet come to pass, eLearning courses, such as that presented by AIB, allow for an easier transition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve all heard about the skills gap in the tech industry, but in the world of baking, a gap in baking knowledge is even more pressing.
