Free HR skills forum
Britain's food manufacturing sector faces a potential skills crisis because of its ageing workforce not to mention the image problem that is putting young people off choosing food and drink as a career. That's why a free morning seminar on the subject on Monday March 26 couldn't be more timely.
To examine the huge issues facing food and drink manufacture in the UK and highlight various initiatives being launched to address these problems, Food Manufacture, in conjunction with the Institute of Food Science & Technology (IFST), is organising this HR Forum targeted at HR directors and managers.
The event, which takes place alongside Food and Drink Expo and Foodex shows will include presentations from the Food and Drink Federation on what is being done to raise the industry's image; the National Skills Academy on new training schemes; the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, talking about the latest manufacturing apprenticeship schemes; and the IFST on a new transferable skills initiative. There will also be presentations from leading manufacturers and young apprentices, who will give a view from the shopfloor.
Skills for a changing world of work takes place from 9.30 until 13.20, on March 26, followed by a buffet lunch. For more information and to secure your place at this free event, email unaanu.ebfrirne@jeoz.pbz, tel: 01293 61043.
