The BIAV Petey Pie Making Factory is one of the most popular exhibitions at the Royal Melbourne Show. It is run by The Baking Industry Association of Victoria (BIAV), which is a peak employer organisation, representing baking industry manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, the hospitality and catering industries, and a wide range of allied traders.
On behalf of Skills Victoria, the VFITB began a project in June that develops training pathways to meet the contemporary needs of the maintenance function of the industry. Casey van Berkel is working as the Project Consultant and would appreciate any feedback on this work during September.
