Feedback Sought on Food & Beverage Processing Skills Standards

Our Role Establishing Skills Insight JSC

Skills Impact held a Skills Service Organisation (SSO) role between 2016 and 2022. In 2023 we established one of ten Job and Skills Councils (JSCs), after a submission to move into the role was backed by over 200 letters of support from a broad range of industry stakeholders. This new JSC, Skills Insight, has a broader scope to deliver outcomes that support a responsive VET system and a skilled and resilient national workforce. The industry coverage of Skills Insight is similar to our past coverage as a Skills Service Organisation.

Increased consumer interest in the origins, contents, and packaging of food are driving the food and beverage processing sector to innovations in traceability, automation, and contaminant control. This has impacted skills needs and job roles in the sector.

Thanks to your feedback, the updated skills required by industry are one step closer to being defined. Your comments have highlighted the need to make further major changes to some qualifications and units, and to develop new skill sets and units in certain skills areas. These revised skills standards are available for your review and feedback, to check whether they meet the needs of industry.
