As competition in domestic and international food and drinks markets intensifies, innovative technologies and new designs are essential for keeping UK food and drinks manufacturers ahead of their rivals. Food technology has provided students with a firm grasp of the importance of food safety, hygiene and food preparation, but is there an opportunity for the subject to do more to meet the skills and R&D needs of food and drinks producers? Our second breakfast roundtable will seek to answer how Food Technology can support food and drink manufacturers, by preparing students with the essential skills that are required by the UK's largest manufacturing industry, through a revised 21st century Food Technology Curriculum.

Key theme for discussion:

  *   How can the D&T Association work with business to encourage young people to think of a career in the food and drinks industry?
  *   Should there be a reappraisal of food technology in D&T education, in order to make it more tailored to the needs of industry?
  *   What would this "New Vision" for food technology look like and what are the possible implications for learners and teachers?

Our panel of food industries experts include:

  *   Jane Gray, Editor, editor of The Manufacturer (chair)
  *   Richard Marshall, Principal Lecturer at School of Human Sciences - London Metropolitan University
  *   Louise Davies, Deputy Chief Executive - D&T Assoc.
  *   Kaarin Goodburn MBE, Director & Secretary General - Chilled Food Association
  *   Roy Ballam, Education Programme Manager - British Nutrition Foundation

About Us

The Association was formed in 1989, following the introduction of the National Curriculum and the inception of Design and Technology (D&T). As a subject D&T has striven to provide learners with practical, technological and creative skills. As the recognised professional association for D&T, D&T Assoc. has fought to preserve the integrity of the subject and safeguard the interests of its 6,000 members.

Capitalising on the success of the first 'We Believe in D&T' campaign, D&T Assoc. has launched a second nationwide campaign to articulate a 'New Vision for D&T' and safeguard the future for students, teachers, students and UK plc.  In doing so, the Association is seeking to understand how organisations outside of the education environment perceive D&T, and how the subject might be tailored to meet the needs of 21st century Britain.
