Apprentice Butchers Club

The ‘Apprentice Butchers Club’ is still running and over the next few months will be reinvigorated. Supporting the apprentice butchers club is a Facebook page designed to link apprentices and mentors across Australia. This page will be used to answer questions and enquiries from apprentice butchers, as well as provide information about upcoming industry events.

MINTRAC will be taking applications from apprentices who wish to become members and new and existing members will continue to enjoy discounts, benefits, invitations to events and automatic entry into competitions.

The Apprentice Butchers Club is open to apprentices at all stages of their training and will offer something that has never been done before. Apprentices will receive:

  • discounts from associated companies
  • opportunities to attend events such as WorldSkills, sausage king, apprentice competitions, royal shows and more
  • invitations to attend abattoirs, boning rooms, smallgoods plants, farms, bus tours and lots more that will expose apprentices to more of the industry and give them some great ideas to take back to their workplace
  • automatic entry into competitions with the chance to win prizes including knife sets, steels, tickets and much more.

  • Best of all, membership is completely free. Apprentices should be encouraged to join the club. Application forms are available on the MINTRAC website or on request from MINTRAC.
