On the 11th June, we held another very constructive meeting of the BFFF Technical Expert Group.
It was great to see so many faces in person, which with their busy schedules, shows their true dedication to the Federation and our members.
Several subjects were discussed including the latest BTOM trade updates, recent foodborne linked outbreaks and the Fairer Food Labelling consultation. Please do get in touch should you wish to find out more about our discussions or would like to propose topics for future consideration by the group.
This time round, we were also joined by colleagues from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) to discuss the food industry apprenticeship schemes they offer.
In such a fast-moving industry there are excellent opportunities for career progression in this sector, while at the same time there is also a real need for employees to be qualified in key areas such as Food Science and Technology. Apprenticeships can offer the best of both worlds with minimal to no cost to the business.
We would highly recommend members do take the time to explore apprenticeships in more detail. Information regarding their Level 3 Food Industry Technologist Apprenticeship as well as their Food Industry Technical Professional, Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship BSc (Hons), can be found here. Additionally, we would be more than happy to connect members with colleagues at NTU to discuss in more detail.
