Introduction
Food Skills work-based learning is the place where apprentices/interns and work-based learning opportunities meet. Here students that would like to do an apprenticeship or internship related to the food sector can search for work-based learning opportunities in the database and apply directly by contacting the training organisation or company. On the other hand, training organisations and companies that offer work-based learning opportunities can post for free their vacancies and receive students' applications.
