Giving
recognition for pig producers’ professionalism has just become easier and
membership fees are lower. The Pig Industry Professional Register (PIPR) is a
very useful tool to help the pig industry demonstrate its high standards and
professionalism to assurance bodies, government and the public.
It keeps a
record of all registered events and training members have been to and members now
have direct access to their records online.
PIPR
membership simply involves:
- Registering to open a PIPR member’s account
- Members signing their name on the PIPR form provided when they go to events and training courses
Points are
then automatically added to each member’s PIPR account so they continue to
build up points throughout their pig industry career. It could be described as
building up ‘professional capital’.
Members can
access and print off a statement of their points balance and how they earned
them, to show their credentials to colleagues, current and possible future
employers.
The PIPR
scheme was developed by BPEX and City & Guilds NPTC, in collaboration with
pig producers, as a simple way to give recognition for producers’ commitment to
improving their knowledge and skills.
Anybody
working in the pig industry can be a member, including vets and allied
industry. For more details go to: www.pipr.org.uk
