Remit hits 100 mark with Starbucks

Alex Smith from Starbucks’ Northampton drive-thru store was the 100th young person to be taken on by the company since its apprenticeship scheme began in London last year.

Remit, which works with nearly 7,000 apprentices across the country, was selected by Starbucks to manage the training for all its apprentices across the UK.

Eighteen year old Alex will be training with Remit for a year while he completes his NVQ Level 2 in Customer Service and his Barista qualifications. The company works closely with Starbucks to make sure each apprentice gets the right amount of support to complete their qualifications, the majority of which is done on-site or through specially tailored webinars.

Steve Yardley, Chief Operating Officer at Remit, said: “We’ve been working with Starbucks for over a year now and it’s fantastic to see the first cohort of apprentices achieving their qualifications and doing so well in their jobs.

“These young people have real ambition and the training they receive alongside the valuable work experience they get with Starbucks will give them the boost they need for a career in a highly competitive, fast moving industry.

“I wish Alex the best of luck with his apprenticeship, along with all the other Starbucks apprentices.”
