As Arabica, we continue to invest in the development of our baristas. With the trainings we provide, we aim to bring more qualified baristas to the sector and to represent them more in the national and international arena. The development of our baristas will make a great contribution not only to our brand, but to the entire coffee sector. As Arabica Coffee House, we have undertaken many important projects in 10 years. The barista profession had not been defined as an occupation code in İŞKUR in Turkey before us. We became the first brand to define the barista profession in İŞKUR by cooperating with the Ministry of National Education. We opened barista classes by encouraging positive discrimination especially in girls' vocational high schools and aimed to increase women's employment. In this context, we opened the first barista class in Kalaba Girls' Vocational High School and pioneered women's participation in this profession.”
