A project underway to update existing national retail baking units of competency, skills sets and qualifications.

The units, skills sets and qualifications are being reviewed to ensure they align with industry defined skill needs and desired outcomes. Once completed, they will be nationally recognised and delivered and assessed by registered training organisations (RTOs).

The drafts were available for industry feedback on the Skills Impact website for four weeks from April 11, 2017. Final drafts will be available for industry validation from mid-June 2017. To find out more visit www.skillsimpact.com.au and click on ‘Current Projects’.

This project is being led by the Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Industry Reference Committee (IRC), which is responsible for the development and management of national training package components used by industry and the Vocational Educational Sector. The project underway is managed on behalf of the IRC by Skills Impact, the national Skills Service Organisation (SSO), which is funded by the Australian Government.
