In the streets and alleys of yunnan pu ma, large and small coffee estates and cafes have emerged as springs of rain, and the air is fragranced with sour coffee. In these cafes, there are a group of people who are skilfully grinding the beans, extracting the condensed coffee, blowing out the bubbles and delivering to the customers a cup of fragrance and fine-forming coffee. These are the coffeemakers. As an emerging occupation, coffeemakers have been prominent in recent years and their employment prospects are both promising and challenging。
From a cup of coffee to a major
"coffee specialty is the highest intake line of our college this year." the vice-president of the school of tropical crops of yunnan university of agriculture, lee hak-joon, was approved for an undergraduate course in “coffee science and engineering” at yunnan university of agriculture at the beginning of 2024, becoming the country's first school to provide undergraduate training in coffee。
It took the college eight years to declare success. Referring to the original purpose of the profession, chen weitan, a coffee teacher at the school of hot crops and food of yunnan agricultural university, said that “the shortage of talent in coffee professions in the country is clearly insufficient to support the development of the industry, and that more high-quality professionals can be brought to the country's coffee industry through the systematic and comprehensive development of coffee undergraduates”
Chen shiwei told journalists that the core courses in the profession included coffee odour chemistry, coffee machinery and equipment, coffee processing, world coffee trade, etc., and the training of composite talent。
“students, for example, go to nurseries to learn breeding, planting, pest control, etc. In fact, it takes at least three years for a coffee tree to grow from a small seedling to a soybeans, i. E. It takes at least four years for students to drink the beans they themselves have grown.” chen shiwei said。
It's made of coffee, "all hands."
In recent years, the variety, quality and branding of yunnan coffee has been rising, and the cloud curry has become a new attraction for the market. There is also a steady increase in the quality of pummi coffee, a rich business mix with resources, quality, market, atmosphere and a full process experience of “seed to cup”。
In recent days, journalists have walked into the tropical crops school of yunnan university of agriculture, where the scent of a cup of coffee has sprung up. The students of coffee science and engineering are studying hard to become leaders in the coffee industry。
"the leaves of the coffee tree are elliptical and smooth. The coffee beans are seeds in the coffee fruit, which is actually edible and tastes sweet." one year ago, coffee students from shandong had little knowledge of coffee, and it was now possible to talk about coffee cultivation and coffee crafts。
Chen shiwei said, “we want training to help students upgrade from ‘coffee making’ to ‘coffee understanding’, to develop a “technological, well-run, considerate’ skill set for pummi coffee industry, and to make the pyramids of ‘pummi coffee’ brighter.”
Building a chain of coffee
The city of pu ma, known as the “china coffee capital”, has been working in recent years on the formation of an entire chain of coffee. Guided by the city's priority industrial development needs, it has advanced the specialty industrial chain project, which is centred on the development of the service coffee industry, building mechanisms, setting standards, catch standards and foster breeding, and developing a full-scale capacity for the whole industrial chain of coffee from “seed” to “cup”。
In addition to conducting a comprehensive study of the coffee industry, it has developed a system of co-production of coffee talent. Cooperation agreement with yunnan agricultural university for the establishment of a training base for the development of skills in coffee and a branch of the yunnan institute of modern industry in coffee, a coffee business incubator, a coffee technology innovation centre and a coffee focus laboratory. A consortium on innovation in the coffee industry has been set up around addressing the problems that constrain the quality of the development of the coffee industry。
At the same time, innovations have been made to construct a standard system of “pulma café”. To adapt to the urgent need for consumer upgrading and market changes, improve the multi-level evaluation system for the relevant professional qualifications of the pummi café, vocational qualification, specialized vocational competency assessment, and occupational job requirements。
According to the head of the pummi city social welfare bureau, based on the “government, school, research and business” mechanism, the pummi set up an innovative system for the training of “pummi cafÉs” by building three “pummi” training centres, one “pummi cafÉ” talent service centre, one “pummi cafÉ” industrial entrepreneurship innovation university, and one “pummi cafÉ” industrial innovation university, the n traineeship to develop a system of systematic talent development with global coverage, resource alignment and low-level matching. (b) create demonstration and branding professions and encourage vocational colleges and colleges to develop relevant skills. In addition, the municipality has established a comprehensive system of training in learning, practice, promotion, appraisal and socialization, enabling the coffee industry to develop in an integrated manner and achieve small brands and greater performance。
