Apprenticeships

Butchery is one of the oldest professions in the world where innovation meets tradition.

A Plumpton College butchery apprenticeship will equip the apprentice with all the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in an increasingly popular, in-demand and growing sector which relies on people skills that cannot be replaced with automation.

Apprentices will acquire the skills and knowledge to practice the art of butchery at the highest level, learning to cut, prepare, and make modern meat products as required by their employer. There are many different career paths available with apprentices selecting one of three pathways based on their job role.

This is the perfect event to find out more.
