Day 4 - Onward Employment

As part of the Change Please Barista Training Programme the end goal is to help each graduate gain onward employment or further education. With 80% of those experiencing homelessness want to work however face huge systemic barriers that make it difficult to secure and maintain employment.*

We couldn’t do this without our incredible partners, so many of whom have taken our graduates on into full time employment, two of these partners being David Lloyd and WeWork.

We are so grateful for our partnership with WeWork who we run our secondment programme, a three-month employment programme where after graduating from the change please barista training programme are able to further grow in their role as a barista as well as gaining new responsibilities. Since August 2023 WeWork have welcomed 21 graduates into secondment.

If you would like to become an employment partner and welcome our amazing graduates into your business, please contact charlotte.j@changeplease.org
