One oat drink company’s quest to train a new and inclusive class of Chinese Baristas
As a company that makes oat drinks that go happily with coffee, we have a close relationship with the barista community. And we thought that maybe the coffee industry could lead the way in creating more job opportunities for those often left out of the labor market. So we came up with the Silent Barista initiative in Shanghai – providing officially-certified barista training and job opportunities to the deaf community.
