Food Industry Training (F.I.T.) Centre

NEW Industry Workshop Series

The Food Centre has ramped up its industry training for 2012 as we are setting up to deliver a series of workshops, seminars and info sessions.  

The objective is to deliver skills development programs that are specific, convenient, affordable and immediately relevant to the agri-food sector.  As a result, industries will be better equipped to explore new market opportunities.  Some programs will be delivered in modular formats, in classroom setting, production area setting and one-on-one. 

Two workshops are scheduled to start in the New Year.  Please click on the workshops below for more details and registration (pdf).
