- The Australian meat retailing sector offers career opportunities in independent butcher shops, meat departments in supermarkets and wholesale meat enterprises. The sector employs apprentice butchers as required.
- Apprentice meat retailers are trained in selecting, cutting, trimming, preparing and displaying meat for sale. They are also trained how to value-add to meat products (by adding marinades, seasonings and pre-preparing some elements); provide advice to customers about how to prepare and cook different cuts of meat; display and present cuts of meat, market and advertise meat; and provide meat safety and nutritional information. Apprentices also gain experience in specialised techniques such as making mince, sausages, corned and smoked meats.
