New look Meat Industry Reference Committee has its first meeting
Following a review of its structure and membership, the newly appointed members of the Meat Industry Reference Committee (IRC) attended an induction course facilitated by KCPMG on 15 February 2017. The Chairman,Cameron Dart, of the IRC was also elected at this meeting.
The revised membership provides strong industry coverage and expertise to support training package development for the meat processing industry. The members have extensive experience in, and knowledge of, their industry sector with the capacity to proactively apply these attributes to the work of the IRC. Full details of the Meat IRC membership can be found on the Australian Industry Skills Committee website at
www.aisc.net.au
The AISC draws on advice from the new Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) which are made up of people with experience, skills and knowledge of their particular industry sector. Their advice ensures training packages meet the needs of employers and the modern economy. The Meat IRC is supported by Skills Impact, the Skills Service Organisation (SSO), and MINTRAC provides the secretariat services.
