New Food Industry Graduate Certificate underway
A new Vocational Graduate Certificate in Food Industry Management was commenced in June with 10 participants.
The program is designed to develop depth and breadth in managers who have significant organisation responsibility for improvement in an area of dairy manufacturing or along the dairy production supply chain.
This includes responsibility for implementing change across a range of interrelated projects, including direct responsibility for challenging current thinking in order to generate improvement.
The program initially focuses on the science and technology of dairy product applications, and builds to provide a basis of decision making skills associated with practical production environment application.
The program leads participants through the initiation, analysis, planning, execution and evaluation of complex ideas via analysis of specialised techniques in an area where they have a direct line ownership of the outcome.
Much of the course assessment is based around a balance of live research assignments based within their business context and a practical improvement project at the workplace. Thus, students should be able to demonstrate potential to study at the graduate level, as well as a span of responsibility allowing implementation of significant workplace change.
The students completed their first week of block release in June, which involved a day long industry / networking visit to Dairy Australia and laboratory classes in Dairy Microbiology.
