Progression
Progression from the Foundation Apprenticeship in Food and Drink (Butchery and Meat Processing):
Examples include:
- Into employment, for example, as a butcher or meat and poultry operative;
- Direct career progression onto a Level 3 Apprenticeship in Food and Drink (Butchery and Meat Processing) pathway or any other suitable to the apprentices role and career plans;
- Development into a different role at the same level or higher;
- Welsh Baccalaureate Level 3.
Many career options become available to the Apprentice on successful completion of the framework.
Progression from the Apprenticeship in Food and Drink (Butchery and Meat Processing):
Examples include:
- Into employment, for example, as a specialist butcher or specialist operations manager (meat and poultry);
- Onto the Higher Apprenticeship (level 4) in Food and Drink (Food Manufacturing Excellence) pathway;
- Into further or higher education;
- Career progression e.g. to a higher role, or specialised role at the same level.
Many career options become available to the apprentice on successful completion of the framework.
Equality and diversity
It is important that apprenticeship Pathways are inclusive and can demonstrate an active approach to identifying and removing barriers to entry and progression. Pathways should advance equality of opportunity between persons who share protected characteristics and those persons who do not as identified in the Equality Act 2010.
The Protected characteristics identified in the Equality Act are age, disability, gender re-assignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity. Marriage and civil partnership is also included although only in respect of the requirement to eliminate discrimination in employment.
Training providers and employers MUST also comply with the other duty under the Equality Act 2010 to ensure that applicants are not discriminated against in terms of entry to the industry based upon those nine protected characteristics.
The food and drink industry in Wales is predominantly male, making up over two-thirds (68%) of the workforce; 32% are female. In comparison, a more balanced gender distribution exists across all industries in Wales where 53% are male and 47% are female. Between 2006 and 2011, the male share of the workforce increased by 7% (13,000 to 13,800) whereas the female share of the workforce declined by 4% (6,900 to 6,600). 36% of Welsh food and drink employees fall within the 45 to 54 years age group; 8% are aged 30 to 34; and only 17% are aged 16 to 29 years. The 16 to 29 years age group is considerably smaller than the other UK nations. In comparison, Northern Ireland has 38% of its food and drink workforce in this age group, England has 26% and Scotland has 25%.
Over two-thirds (68%) of the current workforce will be eligible for retirement in the next 20 years. It is notable that 3,500 non-UK nationals are estimated to be working in the Welsh food and drink industry in 2011, an increase of 86% since 2006. (Skills Insights and Labour Market Facts about the Food and Drink Manufacturing and Processing industry in Wales 2013-2014, Improve Limited 2013)
This pathway is an important route to encourage greater diversity within the industry and the following actions are being taken to promote equality and inclusion:
- Ongoing monitoring of data to identify any issues and intervene where necessary
- Promotion of the industry to a diverse audience though our careers website Tasty Careers www.tastycareers.org.uk and Tasty Careers Ambassadors
- Apprenticeship workshops to raise awareness of the benefits of Apprenticeships to employers
All partners involved in the delivery of apprenticeships, including training providers, centres and employers, must be committed to a policy of equal opportunities and must have robust equality and diversity policies and procedures.
Employment responsibilities and rights
Employment Responsibilities and Rights (ERR) is no longer compulsory. But it is recommended that all apprentices (especially the 16 years - 18 year group) receive a company induction programme.
Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the Training Provider and Employer to ensure that the requirements of this pathway are delivered in accordance with the Welsh Government Apprenticeships Guidance.
