St. Petersburg, Florida plans to open a Food Truck Academy to help out those looking to start a food truck business. City officials have sent out a solicitation for a vendor to handle the academy, according to a report by St. Pete Catalyst.

The vendor would make the curriculum and teach the classes for students, along with offering courses. The courses would include regulation, menu planning, food safety, budgeting, risk management and growth strategies.

Training can be offered on-site, online, or hybrid. The city will recruit participants and plan out facilities for training.
