Our TY students recently took part in an engaging Barista Training workshop with the Dublin Barista School. During the session, students learned about the history and origins of coffee, explored different coffee varieties, and gained valuable insight into one of the world’s most popular beverages. They also enjoyed hands-on training, learning how to operate professional coffee machines and prepare a range of coffee drinks. At the end of the experience, students had the opportunity to sample the coffees they had created themselves. With barista skills in high demand and the coffee industry continuing to grow, this was an excellent opportunity for students to explore a potential career pathway while developing practical workplace skills.
