Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this project to revise qualifications, skill sets and units that support essential skills required for entrants into the meat processing industry.
Skills Insight working with MINTRAC have updated the documents based on stakeholder and Technical Committee feedback and the project is now in the Consensus Gathering stage. This is an opportunity to provide feedback on whether updates to the qualifications, skill sets, units and the companion volume are accurate and appropriate before the documents are finalised and prepared for submission.
Of the three Certificate II qualifications being reviewed as part of this project, stakeholders have supported merging two qualifications, to become the draft Certificate II in Meat Processing which offers flexibility in training a range of meat industry skills. The draft Certificate II in Meat Retailing which has been retained as a stand alone qualification, captures the specific skills required in a retail environment.
Please view the draft documents and provide feedback by visiting the project page. There is also still time to register for an online consensus gathering workshop where you can discuss the changes and provide feedback.
The final drafts are available for comment from 3 February to 3 March 2025.
