FDQ has tested the training programmes for quality assurance and they are being used as an example of good practice for other apprenticeship standards.<\/p>\n<p>The new standards are among 150 revamped training programmes recently launched by the government. As well as completing a portfolio of work, the butchery apprentices will have to prove their knowledge, practical knife skills and their ability to relate to and advise customers. On completion they will receive a recognised qualification plus automatic membership of the Institute of Meat, the professional body for people who work in the meat industry.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at an induction day for the first group to enrol onto the new apprenticeships, FDQ Chief Executive Terry Fennell said: \u201cReaseheath College should be congratulated for the way it has embraced these brand new programmes and is pioneering them throughout the north west.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been a huge step towards providing recognised, credible qualifications which answer the requirements of employers. These new apprenticeships have restored many of the traditional \u2018craft and mastery\u2019 skills that have been long associated with butchery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-slideshow av-av_slideshow-850714b432a31055e34a1d50ec8f456b avia-slideshow-featured_large av_slideshow avia-slide-slider  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-slideshow-manual av-loop-once av-loop-manual-endless av-default-height-applied avia-slideshow-2' data-slideshow-options=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;once&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:5,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-endless&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:false,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:0}\"  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><ul class='avia-slideshow-inner ' style='padding-bottom: 42%;'><li  class='avia-slideshow-slide av-av_slideshow-850714b432a31055e34a1d50ec8f456b__0  av-single-slide slide-1 slide-odd'><div data-rel='slideshow-2' class='avia-slide-wrap '   ><div class='av-slideshow-caption av-av_slideshow-850714b432a31055e34a1d50ec8f456b__0 avia-caption'><div class=\"avia-inner-caption\"><div class='avia-caption-content '  itemprop=\"description\" ><p>Reaseheath butchery assessor Gary Evans, a Master Butcher, demonstrates knife skills to employers and apprentices at the college\u2019s apprentice induction day<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"wp-image-61059 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-61059\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Butchery-employers-and-apprentices-at-practical-demo-1500x630.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"630\" title='butchery-employers-and-apprentices-at-practical-demo' alt=''  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"   \/><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>\u201cThe apprentices and their employers will benefit from the excellent facilities and the on and off- the-job training services which Reaseheath provides. We are delighted that employers from throughout the region have taken up this exciting opportunity to train the next generation of butchers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Major of Grants Butchers, Church Minshall, who had signed up an apprentice, said: \u201cThese new training programmes are good for apprentices because they are recognised throughout the industry and great for businesses because they ensure staff continuity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon Kilby of Hopkinsons of Lymm, who has two apprentices on the programme, added: \u201cBy giving employers more input we have a more practical qualification which is tailormade to our requirements and will, without doubt, expand jobs opportunities within the local community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a high street butchers who pride ourselves on selling local produce to local consumers. These new apprenticeships will enable us to maintain our traditional approach while continuing to improve the quality of our service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of Cheerbrook Farm Shop, Nantwich, Manor Farm Butchers, Worcester, Edmonston\u2019s Family Butchers, Uttoxeter, and The Lambing Shed Farm Shop, Knutsford, were also present.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u2019s Head of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/apprenticeships\/apprenticeships-we-offer\/\">Apprenticeships<\/a>, Sharon Yates, said: \u201cIt was great to see so many employers and staff at the launch of our new butchery apprenticeships. We welcome this opportunity to work even more closely with employers to ensure that our training programmes really meet their needs. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>There are current vacancies for butchery apprentices with H. Clelow, Nantwich, the Hollies Farm Shop, Little Budworth and Cherrington Butchers (Shrewsbury).
