Craft Butchery Competition

What is it?
Craft butchery is a skilled trade that involves cutting, trimming, and preparing meat to the highest food safety and quality standards. Butchers combine technical precision with product knowledge to create a wide range of cuts that are ready for cooking, display, or sale. The craft requires a strong understanding of carcass breakdown, portion control, and minimising waste, while ensuring the best presentation and value for customers.

As an industry, we’re always keen to encourage young people to join the Butchery trade. It offers real progression and there are a plethora of roles you could undertake including customer satisfaction, quality standards, product display and innovation.
“Butchery is a highly skilled career, and apprenticeships are vital to secure the industry’s progression – which is why we’re delighted to sponsor this year’s Craft Butchery competition at WorldSkills Ireland 2024. It’s essential that industry supports the education and skills development of our young people if the sector is to continue to grow and thrive.”
