This week, NCA's The Confectionery Foundation's Next Generation program at Sweets and Snacks Expo brought together 100 college students and faculty from 18 educational institutions with 80 industry professionals to connect, inspire and strengthen. The students learned about the many career opportunities in the confectionery and snack industry as well as innovative products and packaging highlighted at the tradeshow.
In the words of one of our Interns:
“NextGen program … draws in new talent (and) unique perspective … enhancing the future of this special industry. It has been an honor to see the impeccable growth and innovation from the many universities and businesses represented in the NextGen program. It is so special to be a part of its inner workings and to see many industry professionals take time out of their busy schedules to pour into the next generation. Thank you all once again for such a unique and unforgettable opportunity.”

Student, faculty and intern applications for NCA's The Confectionery Foundation Next Generation program will open again in February 2017. Learn more about Sweets & Snacks Expo!
