A campaign to raise awareness of the career opportunities within the food and drink industry in Wales, and challenge perceptions of careers in this field has been launched.
The Sgiliau Bwyd a Diod Cymru / Food & Drink Skills Wales programme is a Welsh Government funded programme committed to working with the food and drink industry to develop a skilled and capable workforce. It supports food and drink businesses with a focus on the Welsh food and drink processing and manufacturing industry to ensure employees have the right skills and training for their business.
Working across all sectors within the Welsh food and drink industry, it encourages employees to share knowledge and experience with fellow peers whilst also increasing confidence and flexibility in the workplace in order to make employees feel valued. It also aims to prepare employees to adapt to changes and opportunities in food production and manufacturing including technical, business and environmental challenges.
As part of the campaign, a new online Jobs Noticeboard is live with a number of vacancies available across the sector.
The Sgiliau Bwyd a Diod Cymru / Food & Drink Skills Wales Programme Jobs Noticeboard can be found at: fooddrinkjobs.wales
