Advancement Prospects
Workers who are willing to learn about all aspects of confectionery making can advance to positions as candy makers or supervisors. Workers may enter other food processing occupations, such as raw sugar refining, where earnings may be considerably higher. The greater the range of specialized knowledge and skills a worker has, the greater the chance for advancement. The size of the plant and the rate of turnover among employees also affect promotion opportunities. Some confectionery workers may decide to open their candy stores or small-scale production facilities.
