Seaview Meats: a language focused induction for abattoir workers

This resource is relevant to three competencies from the Meat Processing Training Package (MTM00):

  • MTMMP2B - Apply hygiene and sanitation practices
  • MTMMP4B - Follow safe work policies and procedures
  • MTMMP5B - Communicate in the workplace

It introduces new workers to the policies, procedures and personnel at a meat processing site. Supervisors and team leaders take learners over key concepts, language and work practices giving them opportunities to practise the language in the training room and to locate relevant procedures in their own work place.

The workbook and DVD have been designed to work together or to be stand alone resources.

The target audience is workers who speak English as a second language or native speakers with language and literacy needs. The guide has been written to help trainers who have not been trained to teach English as a second language. It provides some basic ideas on adult learners as language learners and on designing activities to help learners engage with language learning.
