Welcome to the Scotland Food & Drink Partnership.
This is our signposting site for both educators and employers.
Educators:
Find the resources and support you need to deliver innovative and exciting food education activities. Our signposting section flags up helpful organisations while our resources section is full of useful packs, resources and courses.
Employers:
The Feeding Workforce Skills section gives the help and guidance you need to attract, recruit and retrain your workforce. And our Ambassador scheme aims to use the skills and knowledge of people working in the industry to inspire and encourage young people to see the career opportunities on offer.
When it comes to food and drink, Scotland is world class and one of our best performing sectors. We want young people, educators and career influencers to understand what the industry can offer; from the variety of produce and products that we export all over the world to the excellent career opportunities available at home and abroad.
Using food and drink as a context for learning is an incredible way to understand the breadth and scale of the industry in an engaging way that helps bridge the gap between learners and careers. Let's face it we all eat and drink every day so we all need to know where food comes from and the people and processes to make it safe, healthy and tasty.
There are a huge variety of options to deliver food education, from early stage through to senior phase. Covering all aspects of food production from farming and primary production through to manufacturing and consumption.
Food and drink can be used as a context for delivering every subject in the curriculum!
As well as a signposting service this site also hosts links to other useful resources, organisations and information, including food and drink facts and statistics, career information and case studies, qualification route maps, where you can study food and drink and much, much more...
