The WRA Education Foundation bridges solutions for the growth of the hospitality industry through training and education.
Meeting the educational needs of restaurateurs
We sponsor ongoing training featuring topics specifically tailored to restaurants. Our programs include advanced food safety, alcohol server and more. The WRAEF hosts several regularly scheduled courses every month, but can host a class in any city in the state of Washington upon request.
