This will give you a well-rounded skillset in the theory, practical experience and how to best apply it to your
workflow in a café environment.
Just as there are many varieties of cafes, they also have varied expectations for barista roles. Smaller cafes might consider hiring you straight after training, while larger establishments may expect you to gain more experience first. To stay updated on job opportunities within the Perth region, we recommend joining the "WA Baristas" and “WA Barista Network” Facebook groups, where many cafe owners post job vacancies.
