Purpose of this framework
Summary of the purpose of the framework
Definition of Apprenticeships
An Apprenticeship is a job with an accompanying skills development programme designed by
employers in the sector. It allows the apprentice to gain technical knowledge and real practical
experience, along with functional and personal skills, required for their immediate job and
future career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal
off-the-job training and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work
context. The broader mix differentiates the Apprenticeship experience from training delivered
to meet narrowly focused job needs.
On completion of the Apprenticeship the apprentice must be able to undertake the full range of
duties, in the range of circumstances appropriate to the job, confidently and competently to
the standard set by the industry.
Background information about Apprenticeships
All Apprenticeship Frameworks are linked to specific job roles or occupations. Providers must
work closely with employers to ensure that the Apprenticeship offered is the most appropriate
for the individual’s job role with their employer, whilst reflecting individual employer and
learner needs.
The focus of an Apprenticeship is on equipping individuals with the new skills and learning they
need for their job roles and future employment and progression.
It is appropriate for those moving into a new job or for individuals in an existing job where
significant new knowledge and skills will be acquired through the Apprenticeship. Providers
must work closely with the employer to ensure that the Apprenticeship will meet this
requirement.
Employment is a fundamental part of an Apprenticeship and in this context is more than just
having a contract of employment. An apprentice must be employed in a job role with a
productive purpose.
Ideally they will have a range of experience and additional enhancement opportunities that can
aid their future progression. This can include, but is not limited to, additional units with
smaller employers and higher level Maths and English.
The duration of the Apprenticeship must meet the minimum duration requirement announced
by NAS:
-
16
... Food and Drink (England)
Apprenticeships for apprentices aged 16 – 18 must last at least 12 months. For those
Apprentices aged 19 or over the Apprenticeship should also last at least 12 months
unless relevant prior learning is recorded. Where this is the case the Apprenticeship will
not be less than 6 months.
Apprenticeship delivery must be planned to make full and effective use of the duration,
including the opportunity for apprentices to embed and extend their learning through
repeated workplace practice.
All apprentices commencing their Apprenticeship on or after 6th April 2012 must have an
Apprenticeship Agreement between the employer and the apprentice. This can be used to
reinforce the understanding of the requirements of the Apprenticeship.
The Food and Drink Industry
The food and drink industry is an exciting, dynamic, fast-paced and competitive industry driven
by innovation and new technology. As the largest manufacturing sector in the UK (based on
number of employees and financial turnover), it includes some of the country’s best known
businesses and brands, and offers a wide variety of well paid, relatively secure jobs. There are
opportunities for people with different abilities, backgrounds and experience to enter the sector
and develop and progress in their chosen career.
The food and drink manufacturing and processing (FDMP) industry develops, manufactures,
processes, packs and distributes food and drink products for sale in the UK and worldwide.
With more than 313,000 employees across 5,700 businesses and annual exports worth
£8.8bn, making up nearly half (48%) of total UK food and drink manufacturing exports,
England’s food and drink industry has a vital role to play in the UK’s economy. This can only
be achieved if the sector continues to have world-class skills and has the ability to see the
bigger picture. This Apprenticeship Framework in Food and Drink provides an excellent basis
to introduce these skills. (Source: Improve England Skills Insight and Labour Market Facts
Profile 2013/14)
The UK food and drink manufacturing and processing industry needs to recruit 170,000 staff
between 2010 and 2020 to meet growth demands and replace those who leave or retire (with
35% of the current workforce being eligible for retirement in the next 20 years). This includes
25,000 managers and senior officials; 16,000 high skilled professionals; 24,000 associate
professional and technical roles; 33,000 process, plant and machine operatives; and 35,000
elementary roles. (Source: Working Futures 4, 2012)
There are a number of complex issues currently driving the FDMP industry in England including:
Consumer protection and public health – for example, supply chain issues and traceability
Globalisation - companies are tending to relocate where cost advantages are identified
Consumer demands - consumers are more concerned about health and nutrition than
ever before

Technology – innovative production methods are being introduced
Environmental change – finding sustainable methods for food production is critical
Recruitment and skills issues facing the industry
The FDMP industry in England is facing a number of skills issues, negatively affecting its ability
to achieve its potential:
Within the existing FDMP workforce, 15% of employers report having vacancies
Employers are most likely to have vacancies for associate professionals (30%), machine
operatives (30%) and elementary occupations (14%)
15% FDMP employers in England have skills gaps
Of the 15% of England FDMP employers reporting vacancies, about 4% of these are
considered ‘hard to fill’
2% of employers in the FDMP sector in England report skills shortage vacancies
Technical skills, oral communication and team working skills are the most frequently
stated skills deficiencies found in production roles
How this Framework will help address skills issues
The Apprenticeship Framework for Food and Drink allows apprentices to follow the most
relevant pathway for their roles - whether specialist (eg., Craft Baker), sector-specific or
generalist; operative or supervisory/management - providing them with an opportunity to
learn new skills in an industry with wide-ranging careers and good progression prospects.
The Framework allows apprentices to gain technical knowledge and real practical experience,
in areas where there are known skills gaps and ‘hard to fill’ vacancies. The Intermediate Level
Apprenticeship provides an entry route into the sector, and is suitable for those learners
moving into a new job, or for equipping existing employees with new skills and learning; whilst
the Advanced Level Apprenticeship provides progression routes to technical supervisory and
management roles and senior operative roles where there are skills gaps and increasing future
demand.
The most significant training benefits for businesses in the industry are found to be those
associated with intermediate level skills. Investment in intermediate level skills brings broader
benefits, not just in terms of the apprentice’s job satisfaction and career opportunities, but
also in meeting business goals, innovation and responding to the market. This Framework,
with its diverse range of pathways, including many at intermediate level, provides an
opportunity for employers to invest in these skills; and for learners to achieve their career
goals.
The Intermediate Level Food and Drink (Food Industry Skills) pathway is for those in generalist
roles relevant to all food and drink sectors, such as processing control operative, quality
control, facilities support or sales/service support in a food industry organisation; and specialist
operatives such as butcher, baker or dairy production operative. Operatives often work with
-
18
Semi-automated processing control and monitoring functions coupled with batch production
systems. However, batch operations may require some specialist sub-sector skills and
knowledge. Role-holders need to be highly responsive to customer needs where the
requirement is for flexible processing operations.
The Intermediate Level Food and Drink (Food Industry Team Leading) pathway is for team
leaders; and the Advanced Level Food and Drink (Food Industry Skills and Technical
Management) pathway is for those performing advanced technical skills in operative roles; and
for technical managers and supervisors of food manufacture and the food supply chain
environment, in areas such as production, technical control and quality assurance. These are
areas where there are known skills gaps.
Throughout the Framework, the Food Manufacturing Excellence (FME) pathway, focuses on
business improvement techniques and ‘lean’ production methods. FME can have a significant
and tangible impact on productivity and profitability. Employers recognise FME techniquest are
powerful development tools, critical to business success.
Aims and objectives of this framework (England)
Aims of the Apprenticeship
The aim of this Framework is to attract new entrants into the sector from a wide range of
backgrounds to replace those who leave or retire; and to upskill the existing workforce to meet
the skills needs of employers in order to help increase productivity and profitability.
The objectives are to:
Contribute to addressing skills gaps in the food and drink sector
Contribute to increasing productivity and performance through pathways such as Food
Manufacturing Excellence
Provide progression for apprentices to encourage the shift towards ‘higher-skills’
requirements
Provide entry routes to attract people to the food and drink industry, to ensure that the
industry represents its customer base

Entry conditions for this framework
Entry conditions for this Framework
There are no formal entry requirements to this Framework in terms of academic qualifications.
It is open to all individuals who show a strong desire to pursue a career in the food and drink
industry.
However, to be successful in an Apprenticeship the potential apprentice will need to
demonstrate attributes such as: self-reliance, high motivation and good interpersonal skills. It
is likely that they will have gained some experience that will enable these personal qualities to
be identified. For instance, participation on a pre-apprenticeship programme or a work-related
placement (especially within the food and drink sector) would provide a good grounding.
Entry conditions for all pathways include having a high standard of cleanliness and being able
to follow strict hygiene and health and safety rules. Medical advice should be sought about the
suitability of the Apprenticeship if the applicant suffers from a food related allergy.
The minimum hours of employment for an apprentice should be at least 30 hours per week.
By exception, where the individual’s circumstances or the particular nature of employment in a
given sector makes this impossible, then an absolute minimum of 16 hours must be met. In
such cases the duration of the Apprenticeship should be extended. Refer to the SFA for
current rules.
Initial assessment
Training providers and employers will use an initial assessment process to ensure that
applicants have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their ability and to tailor programmes to
meet individual needs, not to screen out applicants.
This process will identify any prior learning and experience – Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL) – which may count towards achievement of the Framework. Where this is the case for
competence, knowledge or Functional Skills, the Apprenticeship programme must be tailored
to allow the apprentice to undertake new learning, including learning at a higher level, and
development of new skills.
Functional Skills
All apprentices must achieve the required Functional Skills; applicants may already hold
equivalent qualifications.
The delivery model must be designed so that all apprentices who do not have Level 2 in
English and Maths are given the opportunity to progress towards this. Providers must ensure
that their delivery models are structured to deliver these framework requirements.
For more details about acceptable equivalent qualifications, please refer to the Transferable
