Looking Forward
• Invest more time building relationships with Universities and Colleges
• Provide open evenings for the public to attend and learn what we do, use them as recruitment opportunities
• Attend Job fairs/career fairs
• Partner with Suppliers to assist with training and development of staff

Challenges along the way
• Lack of integration between the different Baking associations
• Lack of knowledge and communication in the industry
• Unable to find information on available training providers and what is out there for employers to help develop their staff
