Food and Fibre Skills Framework

Let’s create a common skills language – and great skills

INTRODUCTION

Purpose

Imagine if we had the same understanding of what skills it takes to learn skills, and what skills are pivotal for roles in the Food and Fibre industry. Then we could highlight more pathways for individuals wanting to change, encourage lifelong learning and greater productivity. We would develop an engaged, effective and empowered workforce, together.

Introduction

This website provides further detail to articulate examples of the skills within the Core Transferable component of the Food and Fibre Skills Framework. The aim of providing these examples, is for the Skills Framework to be able to be used by the industry – individuals working in it, employers, and educators. It provides an approach that can be contextualised for any organisation, providing a common foundation to build the skills the industry needs to develop an engaged, effective and empowered workforce.
