WIFSS Student Employees Make Learning Accessible for Spanish-speaking Californians | September 21, 2020
Lack of Spanish language resources can put agricultural and food workers at risk. Limited access to quality training materials on research-based food safety practices can also put the public health at risk. Therefore, it is important at the Western Institute for Food Safety and Security (WIFSS) to increase access to educational materials for the safety of all Californians. WIFSS is a University of California, Davis program that serves the global community by conducting research, developing training, and providing outreach programs that focus on the safety and health of people, animals, and the environment. Ana Araujo, Goretti Alvarez, and Maria Orozco are student employees at WIFSS that worked together as a team to help translate the final Spanish version of the WIFSS FSMA-PSR course. However, their work goes beyond just translating, through the process they acquired software, graphic, and audio editing skills to build the training programs. This work is important because it allows access to training and other services in multiple languages that are supportive of increasing knowledge, safety and health.
