Throughout 2009, the VFITB in conjunction with MESAB and supported by Skills Victoria, conducted a project to explore training options for Mechanical Trades people in the Food Processing industry. We are pleased to publish the final report and receive feedback from interested parties. In the first half of this year we will be promoting the options and training package customisation suggested in the report. We look forward to continuing our work with industry and the training providers to better match industry's needs for specialisation and innovative delivery methods.
