New Food Science and Technology Project

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.

The Food Science and Technology Project is now underway. Visit the project webpage to view the project scope, timeline and deliverables.

This project will review 4 qualifications and approximately 81 units of competency within the FBP Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package, ensuring all job functions are accurately described in the training package components, with appropriate current knowledge and skill needs. A focus of this project will be to align units and qualifications with the current rigorous regulations on food and beverage product safety.

Opportunity for stakeholder input

We invite you to provide your feedback on the current and existing qualifications and units that will be reviewed as part of this project. Your feedback will help us in drafting the revised units and qualifications which will be available for industry consultation November-December this year.

To provide your input, please visit the project webpage by clicking the button below, where you will see a list and links to the current and existing units and qualifications that are under review.

Visit project webpage and provide feedback

Please provide any feedback you have on these current units and qualifications by 13 October, so we can consider this feedback at working group meetings held on 16th and 17th October.
