Barista Training
The Barista Training Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to empower individuals with valuable skills for employment in the coffee service industry. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and hands-on practice, participants learn the art of coffee making, including espresso preparation, milk frothing techniques, and beverage customization. Beyond technical proficiency, the program emphasizes customer service, hygiene standards, and workplace etiquette to ensure graduates are well-rounded and prepared for success in a professional setting.
With a focus on inclusivity and accessibility, this program aims to provide individuals with the tools they need to secure meaningful employment opportunities and enhance their economic stability.

With growing demand across these sectors, there’s a rising need for trained professionals who can deliver exceptional service and adapt to fast-paced environments.
In response, Treasure Coast Food Bank’s Hospitality Training Program provides students with the essential tools to launch a successful career in hospitality. The program offers hands-on instruction in customer service, food and beverage operations, event coordination, and workplace readiness. Participants also gain valuable soft skills like communication, teamwork, and professionalism, which are critical for thriving in hospitality roles.
