Butchery: Butchery Blog

Welcome to the Butchery and Meat Processing Blog!

Welcome to the blog for Butchery! 

I’m Hannah and I’ll be your Statewide Library Subject Specialist. Each delivery team in TasTAFE has a library representative working with them to provide relevant resources, news, and updates for their courses in the form of blog posts. I will be looking at training.gov, and units of competency in your courses to inform the information that I post.

I’m hoping to post at least fortnightly but if there’s urgent or time-sensitive news I’ll post more frequently. Sometimes posts will be aimed at teaching staff, sometimes they will be focused towards students; Occasionally they might appeal to both!  

You can receive notifications when there’s a new post by subscribing to the blog. Just enter your email address in the box on the right-hand side of this page and notifications will be sent to your inbox.

Butchery now has it's own Subject Guide - take a look here, and please send me any feedback you have. I will be updating the Guide with pages that are relevant to the units of competency in the courese taught. I will let you know what I have updated here on the blog.

If there are any resources, news or updates you’d like to see on this blog, or if you have some burning questions or requests, please send me an email.
