Food and Drink Industry how Pick Your Mix Qualifications was Created

The Pick YOUR Mix tool was launched as a result of the introduction of a radical new framework for National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (N/SVQs) in Food Manufacturing. These were developed by Improve in close consultation with employers and sector stakeholders.

The new Apprenticeship Framework for Food Manufacture is intended to make N/SVQs more relevant to the workplace by offering a choice of more than 500 learning units covering all aspects of the industry. Employers can tailor the qualifications to suit job roles.

The Pick YOUR Mix tool helps by matching brief descriptions of job roles to the most suitable options available, suggesting a best fit programme of learning designed to meet the skills demands of the job.

"The new tool will make it easier for employers to plan and provide training, helping them access Government funding available for vocational qualifications and boost the performance of their staff." Jack Matthews CEO, Improve.
