New ways into the food manufacturing industry
A new set of qualification options has been designed by skills council Improve, aiming to not only help those looking for food jobs make their way into the industry, but also to improve the standard of food job applicants for employers.
Out of the new Improve Proficiency Qualifications (IPQs), designed for those with food jobs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, comes the 'Achieving Food Manufacturing Excellence' qualification. This qualification has two main components:
• Leadership, management, and strategy
• Tools, techniques and approaches relating to sustainable business strategies and lean management techniques
This qualification will also focus on the application of the above components to the food industry, enabling employees to improve performance in whatever level they are at or food sector they work within, and also helping to improve performance, production, efficiency and standards within the food manufacturing industry as a whole.
The development direct at Improve, Derek Williams, has explained that because the new qualification options are focused on continuous improvement and tailored to the specific needs of food employers, they should help those in food jobs to take the industry.
