Summary
Twelve MINTRAC Training Network meetings were held during 2011-2012, in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, attracting strong industry and Registered Training Organisation attendances. The project also included the MINTRAC national Training Conference and the five national meat industry training awards.
The Training Networks play a vital role in facilitating the transfer of knowledge from research outcomes to training programs as part of the uptake of innovation in the meat processing industry. They also serve to ensure that the meat industry training system meets the business and strategic requirements of the industry, and that the training personnel of the meat industry have currency of knowledge and skills. A vital role is to ensure that training for the meat industry continues to address industry priorities and requirements, and that the meat industry receives equitable and adequate access to training.
