Recruitment of food science and technology graduates remains a priority for the UK food industry in the wake of skills shortages. As a result of the contemporary pressures faced by the food industry, it is essential that students applying for such roles are aware of and ready for management, leadership, and relevant professional competencies. This collaborative study uses the industry-informed established framework, namely, Competencies for Food Graduate Careers (CFGC) and assesses the integration of this resource into careers education for food-related programs of four higher education institutions: Cardiff Metropolitan University, Sheffield Hallam University, University of Nottingham and University of Reading. Mixed method analysis was conducted with students prior to and on conclusion of the teaching sessions, including surveys and focus groups. Students confirmed that CFGC was informative and useful for preparing them for a graduate career in food science and technology. No single method of integration of CFGC was proposed; instead, intervention can be undertaken by a variety of approaches, suitable for the level of study and Institutional operation as outlined in the study.

使用行业开发的专业能力框架为多个学院的英国食品学位学生进行职业管理

在技​​能短缺的情况下，招聘食品科学和技术毕业生仍然是英国食品行业的优先事项。由于食品行业面临的当代压力，申请此类职位的学生必须了解并准备好管理、领导和相关专业能力。这项合作研究使用行业知情的既定框架，即食品研究生职业能力 (CFGC) 并评估该资源与四所高等教育机构食品相关项目的职业教育的整合情况：卡迪夫城市大学、谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学、诺丁汉大学和雷丁大学。在教学课程结束之前和结束时对学生进行混合方法分析，包括调查和焦点小组。学生们证实，CFGC 对他们为食品科学和技术的研究生职业做好准备提供了丰富的信息和有用的信息。没有提出 CFGC 的单一集成方法；相反，干预可以通过多种方法进行，适合研究中概述的研究水平和机构运作。
