Industry, please

to find out more.
Employers
There are Food and drink manufactures all over, you would probably
be surprised how many there are in your own area. A good place to
look is in the local papers in the jobs and recruitment sections and
in local telephone books. All now have their own websites which will
contain details on what they make and what vacancies they may have
currently.
Other useful sources of information about local Food and Drink
manufacturers include your careers advisers and the local ‘Education
Business Link’. Each area has an ‘Education Business Link’ or
similar body which you are likely to have had contact with as they
are responsible for developing links with employers and agreeing
work placements and work experience.
Many ‘Education Business Links’ not only hold information about
local employers and work experience opportunities but can often
provide you with details about the range of jobs and careers paths
available locally in Food and Drink manufacturing. One useful
summary has been produced by Business and Education South Yorkshire.
