Excel Recruitment launch barista school to tackle skills shortage in hospitality industry

​Excel Recruitment and sister company Futureproof Training are delighted to add barista training to the menu by establishing ‘The Irish Barista School’ to meet skills shortages in the hospitality industry.
 
The school was opened in direct response to increasing requests for skilled baristas from a variety of hospitality businesses. Shane Mclave, Director at Excel Recruitment says “It’s clear to see how coffee culture has exploded in Ireland in recent years and with the employment market the way it is, there is a dearth of trained and passionate baristas across the country. 

The barista school came about because of the sheer number of our clients requesting knowledgeable, fully-trained baristas. We have 100s of fantastic staff that are great at customer service and bar and wait staff duties, they just need the additional knowledge piece.” Shane continues “The school will be mutually beneficial for clients and staff. Staff will be able to add another string to their bow and clients have skilled, accomplished baristas readily available for their businesses’ needs.

The training will be run in partnership with Futureproof Training which already offers a full range of blended training for hospitality professionals and Skillnet with training available for individuals and teams.
