Food and Drink
This Apprenticeship covers a wide range of job roles within Food and Drink, from quality checkers and bakers to logistics officers and butchers. Getting food and drink on the shelves depends on a range of different people doing various jobs within the sector.
For example, in order for a loaf of bread to reach your trolley, it has to go through a sequence of sourcing, processing, baking, packaging and distribution.
As an apprentice, you could specialise in the main operations involved in manufacturing and processing a wide range of food and drink products. This may include some exciting production areas, such as dairy processing; bakery production; butchery; brewing; fishmongery; or chocolate and sweets.
Your work-based learning programme will involve both on-the-job and off-the-job training. Through this combination you will develop both technical and practical skills.
This Apprenticeship offers many options, whether you’re someone who likes to be physically on the go, or are interested in how food and drink is made and machinery works. You’ll get to work as part of a busy team, which will involve solving problems, meeting specific targets and ensuring food safety requirements are met.
The prospects are good and the job is an important one – the demand for food will always be with us.
