F&N Training Branding Transition
NOTE: TDA F&N Training Materials will be transitioning to a new branding.
Over the coming year, F&N training materials and related resources will gradually transition from the current F&N University Branding to a new Learning Institute Branding. During this period, you may see both brandings used across training documents, presentations, job aids, and other educational materials. This visual update does not affect the content, guidance, or processes referenced in these materials. Resources will be updated as they are revised or reissued.

Training Team Mission
The Texas Department of Agriculture’s Training and Development Team recognizes that compliance-focused training is a fundamental component to achieve operational and regulatory success in the administration of federal nutrition assistance programs.

Our goal is to design and deliver effective training using proven instructional principles that support program operators in understanding and applying regulatory requirements. Through thoughtful development and delivery, we aim to empower Child Nutrition Program staff with the knowledge and confidence to operate programs compliantly and effectively.
