Apprentice for a Day: Scotland Food & Drink at Kettle Produce | SUBTITLED

Bosses of leading food & drink organisations have gone back to the workplace to experience life as an “Apprentice for a Day”. Senior representatives from sector membership bodies such as Scotland Food & Drink, Food & Drink Federation, Quality Meat Scotland and Seafood Scotland got a hands-on experience reflecting the type of tasks taken on by an apprentice. They acted as an apprentice a day within a member business, meeting other team members and exchanging ideas and views along the way. Here Scotland Food & Drink CEO Iain Baxter experiences life as an apprentice at Kettle Produce in Fife. The Apprentice for a Day project is being documented in a series of short videos that underline the importance of apprenticeships. The videos are being released to coincide with Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2024, a nationwide celebration of apprenticeships from 4 to 8 March. The weeks aims to promote the benefits of work-based learning to people, employers and Scotland by emphasising that apprenticeships create the skills every generation needs and every employer wants. This year’s campaign shows that apprenticeships give people high-quality opportunities. More information on Scottish Apprenticeship week can be found at https://www.apprenticeships.scot/even... Apprentice for a Day is part of Feeding Workforce Skills, which promotes the support available for food & drink employers to recruit, retain and develop their workforce. The initiative is delivered by Hoolet under the umbrella of Scotland Food & Drink Partnership’s Skills Advisory Group - https://www.foodeducationscotland.sco... ---- https://www.fdfscotland.org.uk/fdf/wh...
