Programs Designed To Help Your Company AND People Grow

Since 2015, BEMA has been developing and refining its BEMA-U program to bring the best possible education offerings to member companies and the baking industry at large.

BEMA-U offers a full portfolio of leadership and training that range from cohort-style learning – where small groups meet three times over the course of a year to traditional workshops, all of which are built on the Insights Discovery format.

Whether you are a BEMA member, baker customer, or a potential member, we invite you to tap into a new era in professional development.

Trainers Who Listen To Your Team!

The most helpful thing from this training was having a clear understanding of what my strengths and weaknesses are. This training provided great ideas on how to use your strengths to benefit your work style and provided excellent ideas on how to improve on your weaknesses. I also liked how the training covered how to handle potential clients with different personalities on the color wheel. I will start using the six-step sales approach before meeting with any customers. This six-step guide is really useful to help you think through every part of the sale process and how use your strengths effectively.
