Scandiscoveries – training challenges
Lack of access to mobile and telecommunications infrastructure
Significant digital skills gap across the whole primary producer supply chain
WHY?Desktop audit
Auditdiscoveries (NRT)
311 VET units from 16,835 - search term “food and waste”
104 units contained specific food waste content in the performance criteria (5 training packages)
• Agriculture, Horticulture & Conservation and Land Management Training Package (Certificate I)• Australian Meat Processing Training Package (Certificates II, III, Diploma and Advanced Diploma)• Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package (Certificates II, III, IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma)• Seafood Industry Training Package (Certificates I, II, III and IV)• Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Training Package (Certificates II, III, IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma)
102 units did not have food waste included but could as they relate to points in the supply chain where it can occur (13 training packages)
105 units not suitable for addition of food waste
Auditdiscoveries (NRT)
STP - specific unit dedicated to food waste
Except for seafood, little NRT that focuses on food waste for primary production and food processing sectors
Accredited industry training on the role of packaging to reduce and prevent food waste is well covered
Auditdiscoveries (NRT)
Scarce for the primary production and food processing sectors in Australia
Most training delivery modes do not appear to cater for different learning styles, digital capability and rural/regional locations
A similar situation exists internationally
