Fresh Produce Level 2 Pathway

The Fresh Produce Level 2 pathway is for those working in processing and manufacturing roles, or sales/service support, in a fresh produce organisation.

The Steering Group responsible for leading on the review of this Apprenticeship has recommended the fresh produce pathway is discontinued and that those working in this food and drink sub-sector use the Food and Drink Process Operator Level 2 pathway.

1. Do you agree that there is no need for a Fresh Produce specific apprenticeship pathway in Wales and that those working in this sector could use the Food and Drink Process Operator apprenticeship pathway?

No

If no, please explain.
