People entering this occupation usually find employment in entry-level positions (i.e., clean-up or delivery person) in a large organization. If you are reliable and good with customers, you may be considered for an apprenticeship.
Qualified butchers and meat cutters who have experience may progress to supervisory positions in large organizations, including department managers, in-store supervisors, operations managers or company managers. It is also possible to do specialty consulting, become the owner-operator of a smaller store or custom meat operation, or work as a meat inspector in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Industrial meat cutters may progress to inspecting, testing and grading jobs.
