Brief (coffeeyo.com): From September 12 to 23, Shidian County (Baoshan, Yunnan) ran its first free public barista-skills training, bringing the classroom to residents’ doorsteps so they could start from zero and finish with professional technique — widening nearby-employment and flexible-income channels.
(Source: Ink Shidian) From September 12 to 23, Shidian launched its first public-welfare barista-skills training class, moving the classroom to residents’ doorsteps, letting the public start from zero, finish at a high level, successfully master professional coffee-making skills, effectively broaden nearby-employment and flexible-income channels, and continuously push Shidian’s characteristic coffee industry to extend its chain, raise quality, increase efficiency, and enrich people.
At the demonstration site, trainees were energetic, skilled, and standardized in procedure. From weighing beans, adjusting the grind, leveling the bed, precise bloom, and even-rate extraction, to steaming milk, fine integration, and artistic latte pouring, every step was standard, professional, and orderly. Everyone strictly followed industry-standard procedures, precisely controlling water temperature, coffee-to-water ratio, and extraction time, with fluent, clean technique and standardized, disciplined operation. Within just a few minutes, cup after cup of pure-tasting, layered, beautifully shaped pour-over, espresso, and siphon creative coffee was completed.
“This coffee training was not only free but especially practical. From knowing and doing nothing at the start to now independently completing pour-over, latte art, and all kinds of creative coffee — the progress is huge. Now that I’ve mastered a professional skill, I can find nearby employment or open a shop to start a business, gaining a stable extra income. Coffee is a highly representative characteristic industry of Baoshan; through this study we hope to fuse Baoshan’s coffee with intangible-cultural-heritage wellness incense, develop more characteristic cultural-creative products, and let local goodies leave Shidian for farther places,” said Wu Lijiao, a trainee from Baoshan Shanyide Crafts Co., Ltd.
Coffee is a characteristic industry of Shidian County, with fine raw-material quality and a solid industrial base, yet it has long suffered shortcomings: insufficient terminal-making talent, a single consumption format, and low industry-chain added value. This first barista class successfully cultivated a batch of localized, professional coffee-skills talent, effectively shoring up the industry’s talent gap, enriching coffee terminal-consumption formats, and pushing Shidian coffee’s transformation and upgrade from “raw-material export” toward “finished-product output, technique output, and brand output.”
“From the on-site display, all trainees progressed markedly, met the skill standard, and could independently complete standardized coffee-making — the training achieved real results. We run free barista training precisely so the public can learn skills at their doorstep and secure stable employment through skills, continuously feeding local talent into Shidian’s coffee-industry development,” said Li Boyun, senior barista training instructor and skills trainer.
It is understood the training was hosted by the Shidian County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, ran 12 days, and involved 57 trainees. Next, Shidian County will continue to build a strong local skilled-talent team, empowering characteristic-industry development with talent, and turning small coffee beans into a big industry that increases the people’s income and wealth.
