The apprenticeships feature sector-specific paths, making them suitable for butchers working in various sections of the meat industry, including:
- Independent Butchers Shops
- Meat Processing companies
- Supermarkets
Gaining the skills needed to operate as a retail butcher may take one to two years. The standard is level 2, and the typical period is 18 to 24 months.
Continuing education is crucial in this sector since meat cutters must learn new ways to cope with changing meat preferences and culinary trends.
