Executive summary
TAFE NSW - New England Institute of TAFE and NSW Baking Industry Association have joined forces to develop an e learning resource that will enhance and develop business skills for the bakery industry.

The course encompasses the areas of human resource supervision and financial management skills, both of which have been highlighted by the baking industry as a developmental need for business sustainability. These areas are relevant to all sections of the retail and plant baking industry including independents and franchise establishments.

The course covers the national units of competence – BSBMGT506 Recruit, select and induct staff, FDFPMMPW4 A Manage people in the work area and FDFIMMWB4 A Manage a work area within a budget. To ensure currency of the information the course contains a link to the NSW Baking Industry Association (BIA) website.







Project updates
As not all of the potential users of this resource will have internet access BakerE is a CD-based course. Features include text, graphics, optional internet links, audio recordings of interviews, interactive activities using CLI's Learning Activity Wizards and assessments.

BakerE has been burned to CD-ROM and is being trialled by people working in the industry.
