The schedule for the training session will be as follows:

There will also be mandatory training and orientation for all NEW and RETURNING Brew employees Saturday Aug 29th and Sunday Aug 30th. This is the schedule:
Pick ONE time session:
Group 1 --
9a-11a Barista Refresher Course (returning employees and pre-trained new employees)
11a-1p Manual, Safety, and Uniform Overview

Group 2 --
11a-1p Manual, Safety, and Uniform Overview

These will be the same for Sunday's training as well. This is MANDATORY, therefore you must attend one session. This is also where you will be receiving your Brew Tshirts. When the email goes out, you must respond with the group and day you will be committing to. There will also be a light working breakfast/lunch on those days. We can't wait to see you there!

Also, keep and eye out for new updates and info here, on the Brew Blog. This is your place for up-to-date information and facts. This is also where you can access the updated Barista Handbook!
