"I had taken part of the Barista Espresso Coffee and Waiter Skills Training for two days at the Chatswood Youth Center. It has helped me experience how to be a good barista and hospitable waitress in a restaurant or cafe. This will guide and support my ability to find jobs in the future, where I will be able to have many different options to choose."

"The barista workshop helped me learn the different types of coffee and how to make them. Alongside making 8 different types of coffee, we learnt how to craft a cover letter and answer job interview questions. This helps prepare kids from 14-17 for future job searches. I would ask for more coffee machines so we don't have to wait 5 minutes between each coffee."
