SINGAPORE: Some 120 Institute of Technical Education (ITE) students will be taught the finer points of coffee making under a five-year collaboration between the institute and Boncafé International.
With gourmet coffee drinking becoming a growing lifestyle, both partners hope to develop a potential pool of baristas to cater to the growing need for qualified professionals in this area.
An ITE-Boncafé Barista Training Centre will be set up at the new ITE College West regional campus in Choa Chu Kang.
It will equip students pursuing the National ITE Certificate in Food & Beverage Operations course with the knowledge and skill-sets relevant to the latest technology and trends in coffee making.
The centre will also offer short courses on coffee making to the public.
ITE is the first educational institute in Singapore to offer this training programme.
