Essential Meat Processing Skills Project

Project Commencement Date: November 2023
Project Completion Date: July 2025
Project Description:
The AMP Training Package is undergoing a full review to meet both the Standards for Training Packages and the evolving needs of the industry. This project is the second stage of a broader project to review the entire AMP Training Package and will focus on the essential skills in the Certificate II level qualifications, which support accredited training pathways for new entrants. The meat industry offers many rewarding career opportunities, with the potential to develop skills in biosecurity, sustainability, management and working with automated and robotic systems. It is important these qualifications reflect current industry and training delivery needs, including the role they can have in supporting the attraction and development of new learners.

Project Deliverables:

This project will review the three Certificate II qualifications and units of competency, in particular reviewing the core units in these qualifications:

Certificate II Meat Processing (Food Services)

Certificate II Meat Processing (Abattoirs)

Certificate II Meat Processing (Meat Retailing)
