SC MSC determination of action

to be undertaken Current Progress

CIM004 6/12/10 Butchery apprenticeship

There is a need to research the present and future skill needs for butchers in Australia. The project should research the changing nature of meat retailing businesses, the roles of speciality butcher shops, wholesale boning rooms and supermarkets.

Dec ‘10 Mar’11 June ‘11 Sep ‘11 Dec ‘11 Mar ‘12 Jun’12 Sep ‘12 Dec ‘12

Funding will be sought to undertake a comprehensive research project during 2011, with recommendations to the MSC towards the end of 2011.

Research project due for completion November 2012 Now delayed to end February 2013

CIM006 23/03/11 Game Meat Inspection

There is a gap emerging in this area at the processing plant. There is a need to negotiate the specific requirements with the State Food Authorities and AQIS - the solution may be in the form of new units, Skill Seats or modified qualification.

Since when does an apprentice investigate demographics? and purchasing preferences/requirements interpreted is covered in MTMR302C Assess carcase 1.2. Current product lines, brands and suppliers are reviewed to determine match to local preferences/requirements. Again this is a management / owner task 1.3. Current and alternative suppliers are researched to ensure local requirements can be met. An apprentice answers the phone and it is a wholesaler, in 80% of shops the apprentices asks the manager/owner what is required not the other way round! 1.4. Alternative product lines are reviewed to determine economic viability of introduction. Again this job is performed by management The other 3 Elements and required skills and knowledge in this unit also have been written at the same level.

Check made with other RTOs, but very few have attempted to deliver it yet. Raised again as an issue in Qld Training Network meeting 2012. Indications from the current review are that is likely that this unit will become an elective.

The Unit MTMR321A is a unit that could be used in certificate IV or as an optional unit in Certificate III for the 10% of students that would be capable of doing the unit. The collective response of above mentioned SRTO's on how to remedy this ASAP, is to have the Unit MTMR321A Assess and address customer preferences removed to a optional unit in level III and replace it with MTMR314A Order Stock in a Meat Enterprise which all SRTO's agree would be a much more useful unit to the apprentice and employer and teachable.

SC Action Outcome

CIM002 1/12/10 PRMCL38A Clean a food handling area

(Summarised) The above unit is one of the units that butchering apprentices must do as part of their cert III. This unit is from the asset maintenance training package. Issue 1 Unit descriptor says not appropriate for persons who have direct contact with food. Issue2 Essential Unit, but repetitive; also overlaps with other Units Issue 3 perhaps one of the food units could be substituted, such as FDFZCSCS2A Clean and sanitise equipment. This is more appropriate and also includes use of cleaning agents and sanitisers specifically for the food industry.

Mar ‘11 June ‘11 Sep ‘11 Dec ‘11

Comment 1 Intent of this Unit in the Training Package was for cleaning after operations, when staff are no longer handling food. Apart from the Unit descriptor, the Unit still seems to fit our needs. Comment 2 The issues of repetition are delivery-related. Comment 3 The chosen Unit may not cover all cleaning requirements of a meat retailing business.

The Asset Maintenance ISC has been requested to review the Unit descriptor. The issue in Comment 3 is to be canvassed further with meat retailing stakeholders and RTOs during second half of 2011. Listed for discussion at the meat Retail conference. General consensus was that it was adequate. MSC decision - No further action to be taken

CIM041 13.04.12 Smallgoods qualifications The units of competency in the smallgoods qualifications have no points attached to them.
