Developing Employment Skills

Employment Skills As part of the gap* investment in young people, we will be looking to work with local employers to provide opportunities for training, advice, work experience and even employment. Listed below are all the current opportunities for young people to either gain employment or gain skills to

become more employable

STARBUCKS INDUCTION TRAINING

Working with the manager at Starbucks Coffee in Sutton Coldfield, we have developed an opportunity for young people to be put through a mock induction process in order to help prepare young people who are currently not in education or employment for the workplace environment.

The process would is run over a period of 2 - 3 weeks and you would go through the following employment process:

Entering the premises to request an application form
Filling in the application form and completing a CV by the deadline given
Telephone Interview and feedback
Face to face interview and feedback
Half day induction morning explaining the process of employment within Starbucks coffee
the core values of the company and also the high value that Starbucks places on its staff by treating them as partners within the business.

You will also hear from Lisa, the manager of Starbucks Sutton Coldfield, about her personal journey of education and employment which has led to her current role. This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to understand what employers are looking for when potential employees approach them. The training is being led personally by Lisa and you will be supported by a member of the gap* team throughout the process. The induction process will be treated as if you are going for a real job, so if you don’t get the application form in on time – the rest of the process will not happen for you!

**Please note that this process won’t make you an employee of Starbucks coffee, but is setup to give real life experience of what it would be like to go through induction in a professional business environment.
