Congratulations to Christopher Gresham, Meat & Seafood Clerk at store #414 – Folsom, CA, for completing the Meat Apprentice Program offered to help our Meat & Seafood Clerks grow in their careers and develop within Sprouts!
“When the Meat Apprentice Program was brought to my attention, I knew it was too great of an opportunity to pass over. This program gave me the chance to gain the hands-on experience I need to grow further in my career,” Chris said.
The 10-week program focuses on the core fundamentals of meat cutting while learning proper safety and maintenance of hand tools and equipment. Participants learn about the different muscles of the animal protein and how to properly display meats behind the glass case at the butcher counter. The program also focuses on the retail operations in our industry and provides the core skills a team member needs to move into a management role.
Chris shared more about his experience during the program: “I partnered with a seasoned meat cutter who trained me on the proper techniques of cutting a variety of meats. The program made me more comfortable with cutting. Because of this great opportunity, I have a better understanding of the vast world of meat. There’s a lot more to learn and with this program under my belt, I feel more confident in learning all that I can!”
