Food Industry Skills Level 3 Welsh Apprenticeship Review
The NSAFD are working with the food and drink industry in Wales in order to ensure the industry has the right apprenticeships to meet their needs.
Welsh Government requirements for redevelopment of apprenticeships in Wales and employer consultation feedback suggests the current Apprenticeships need to be more technical and aligned to recognised job roles.
Through this consultation, we would welcome feedback on the proposed structures for the review of the L3 Food Industry Skills qualifications that underpin this apprenticeship. It will be of particular interest to stakeholders including prospective apprentices, awarding bodies, assessors, providers and employers.
The proposal for the review of the L3 Food Industry Skills apprenticeship is that a more technical qualification is developed with clearer unit groups, which also incorporates elements of Food Manufacturing Excellence, which would be discontinued as apprenticeships at L2 and L3.
The consultation questionnaire includes a number of questions. These questions are not exhaustive and we would also welcome your comments on any related issue. Please provide reasons alongside your answers where possible.
The consultation period will run to 30th September 2020.
Every comment is valuable. Thank you very much for taking part. Please complete all the following short questions to help us put your views in context.
For which type of organisation are you commenting?
The Steering Group responsible for leading on the review of the Food Industry Skills Apprenticeship has recommended a brand new qualification be developed to deliver the technical requirements for occupations at Level 3. They are recommending this becomes a more technical qualification aligned to job roles in the sector.
