The Institute of Grocery Distribution is running a pilot scheme in the region to offer Year 10 and 11 pupils the chance to meet experts from major food retailers and manufacturers based in their communities. The initiative started on October 16 and since then 1,800 young people have taken part in virtual workshops.
Next year the programme will develop to include in-school employability workshops in 2024 focusing on important skills like interview techniques and CV writing. A highlight of the experience will be organised visits to manufacturers’ offices and production-lines, where students will glean knowledge of the range of professional skills that make the nation’s favourite products.
