Young people from Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and St Columba’s High Schools in Fife have had a taste of the hospitality industry through work experience with Costa Coffee.
They went through a selection process event at Kirkcaldy High were they heard from branch managers about the different opportunities available within Costa.
They also gained valuable interview experience and built on their vital skills of listening, problem solving, creativity, team working and leadership.
Lewis Kellock from Kirkcaldy High said: “Coming in to Costa has been a lot harder than I expected, I thought making coffee was just pushing a button.
“Doing this has been good work experience, I now know what to expect!’
Nadine Greens, manager at Costa Coffee in Kirkcaldy Retail Park said: “The programme has been a wonderful way to connect with our local community and provide some real opportunities for young people. “
Councillor Tony Martin, Fife’s Council’s youth ambassador, said: “This is a key experience to help young people more effectively make the transition from school to the world of work”.
