Students learning the ropes of the hospitality industry are set to gain some valuable on-the-job experience starting next week, as the Little Campus student training cafe opens up to the public.
The cafe opens periodically throughout the year and gives students studying the Level 2 Hospitality course the chance to hone their barista skills and gain deeper insight on topics such as health and safety and customer service.
Training For You hospitality tutor Bex Carr said opening the campus cafe is a perfect fit for the work experience hours the students need to complete for their qualification.
"The Little Campus Cafe is a wonderful opportunity for the public to come along and support our students while enjoying quality barista blend coffee," Carr said.
While running the cafe, students will also be managing a fundraising effort in support of Women's Refuge Whanganui.
