The Learning and Recognition Framework (LRF) developed by Food Processing Skills Canada (FPSC) is a structured model designed to recognize learning achievements in the food and beverage processing sector. Unlike national qualification frameworks, the LRF is industry-specific and competency-based rather than focused on traditional academic levels like diplomas or degrees. It organizes FPSC’s validated competencies into logical levels tied to training and credentials. The framework will support sector-specific learning paths, credentialing, and potentially national accreditation. Institutions and employers can align their training to the LRF, allowing graduates to earn nationally recognized credentials. This system also supports prior learning recognition, including foreign credentials, and helps standardize training, increase workforce mobility, and provide clear career pathways across Canada’s food and beverage processing sector.
