We’ve had partners that within 5 years have completed a level 2 barista apprenticeship, then quickly move on to their level 3 shift supervisor apprenticeship to give them the mentoring and team development skills. They then also have the opportunity to complete their level 4 store manager apprenticeship and run their own store! Alongside this, all of our partners have the opportunity to progress their career through either our retail operations or into our support centre. Did you know, our retail director started as a part time Barista and has progressed his career to now be the UK retail director! Wherever you’d like your career to take you, we’ll support you through our great training and development opportunities.
