Overview:

Join Fiona Fleming, our CEO, for an update on the AIFST CPD program – how it works and how to make the most of it.

The world of food science and technology is changing rapidly and as an industry we need to ensure that we keep up to date with changes.

In today’s increasingly competitive and changing world, food scientists and technologists must stay at the cutting edge of new developments throughout their careers. It is no longer possible to rely on basic studies or on-the-job training to provide professional advice and service to our employers, customers and clients.

Modern businesses rely on skilled professionals who are competent in their profession, remain current in their knowledge, have the ability to manage and embrace change and are highly engaged. This means to continually improve our technical knowledge and skills we need to engage in continuing professional development.

AIFST also recognises that in modern organisations, food scientists and technologists are increasingly responsible for developing their own careers. 

A Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program is an active self-planned and structured program for developing and enhancing your professional skills. The program is designed with clear objectives, extends your professional knowledge and capabilities and allows you to engage in a broad range of activities to increase your career options.
