Exclusive FDA Curriculum Enables USAF Public Health to Meet Food Safety Responsibilities

February 2, 2006 - Princeton, New Jersey - EduNeering, a leading provider of knowledge management solutions to improve workforce performance and regulatory compliance, announced the successful adoption of a web-based food-safety training program by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Public Health (PH) directorate in the Office of the Air Force Surgeon General in Washington, DC. Based on ComplianceWire^®, EduNeering's flagship learning platform, the 32-course training program is a mandatory component of the 7-skill level upgrade training process and is highly encouraged for use by all other personnel. USAF PH will be educating their staff on the curriculum developed under the first and only learning Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between the FDA and EduNeering.

"The U.S. Air Force Public Health is providing its enlisted personnel with a knowledge system that has consistently demonstrated its ability to meet the learning needs of the individual and the performance needs of the organization," said Dr. Donald A. Deieso, President and CEO of EduNeering. "With ComplianceWire as the knowledge management platform and EduNeering's FDA-developed content, Public Health is assured of a learning program that produces measurable results commensurate with the Air Force's high standards and commitment to food safety."
