This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to act as a mentor to others in the workplace. Mentoring is a strategy to promote individual well-being in the workplace and to facilitate retention.

In the meat industry, mentors play a key role. Mentors may be from all areas and levels of the organisation. Mentors may be the people champions or change champions on-site. Mentors can be found in all sectors of the meat industry.

This unit must be delivered in the context of Australian meat processing standards and regulations.

All work should be carried out to comply with workplace requirements and hygiene and sanitation standards.

This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work, including limited responsibility for the work of others. They provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable problems.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
