Starbucks Case Study

ACH provided pre-employment training and one-to-one support to selected candidates, followed by guaranteed job interviews for barista roles within Starbucks stores across Birmingham and Bristol.

"It's been great for Starbucks to work with ACH in supporting the refugee programme over the last few months"

Sarah Goule, Starbucks Store Manager.

First West of England Case Study

In December 2018, we teamed up with First West of England to give refugees the opportunity to become bus drivers through a special training program in Bristol. 9 out of 11 candidates were successful.
