Meat Industry Professional Development workshops - Planning and conducting a workplace assessment

- Have you ever had to carry out a skills assessment of an employee as part of the recruitment or promotion process?
- Have you had to assess whether an employee is following enterprise quality standards?
- Have you had to assess whether a change to a work instruction or SOP has been fully understood and actioned?
- Did you use an assessment process that was fair and reasonable?
- Did you document the process and outcomes so that they could be clearly understood by an auditor or regulator?
This half-day workshop will help you to address all of these questions and to have confidence in the process you develop.

2019 Meat Industry Training Awards
|
It was quality over quantity for this year’s MINTRAC Meat Industry Training Awards – all the nominations were very worthy and representative of the hard work that is done by people involved in training in the meat industry. This year’s nominations included the development of a suite of education resources for schools which aimed to expand awareness about the red meat processing industry in Australia and the career opportunities it offers, a trainer who has worked in the industry for seventeen years and is passionate about continuous learning, and three outstanding young people, two butchery apprentices and a meat processing worker. The winners of the Meat Industry Training Awards will be announced during the awards dinner at the MINTRAC Training Conference. We wish all the nominees the best of luck.
