Future Prospects
Our apprenticeship programmes at Starbucks allow our partners to progress from level 2 to level 6 in our stores or even progress into a support centre position. 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 careers through either our retail operations or 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.
