NJFH ICON Training is Friendship Houses Innovative Culinary Opportunity Network. The training is designed for adults with disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorders who are interested in obtaining employment in the food service industry.

Additionally, participants will become familiar with kitchen essentials, including; safety and sanitation, dishwashing standards, names and functions of utensils and appliances, and serving and dining-room protocols.
