Demand is high for some specialist roles, as employers find it increasingly difficult to recruit these workers e.g. bakers and flour confectioners. There is difficulty in finding, and therefore a demand for people who are, motivated, team players, have the right attitude, and have good communication and people management skills.

Amongst professionals skills deficiencies are identified amongst the laboratory wheat and flour specialists who need training in ‘dough reology’. Employers report that they have to go overseas to find training and expertise in this very specialised area.

The Dairy sector reports a higher than average incidence of vacancies and recruitment issues amongst employers. There is demand for some specialist roles, as employers find it increasingly difficult to recruit these workers e.g. cheese-makers, food technologists, quality assurance roles, and engineers (the engineer’s role in this industry requires a broader base of engineering skills; mechanical, electrical, and some computing).

There is a demand for workers who are, motivated, team players, have the right attitude, basic numeracy and literacy, and good communication skills. Other skills needed for managerial roles include people management, IT, sales strategy, financial management and human resources skills.

Demand is high for some specialist roles, as employers find it increasingly difficult to recruit these workers e.g. butchers, boners, meat cutters, food technologists and quality assurance roles, and engineers (the engineer’s role in this industry requires a broader base of engineering skills; mechanical, electrical, and some computing). There is a demand for workers who are motivated, reliable, team players, have the right attitude, basic numeracy and literacy, and good communication skills.
