Global Coffee Resources (GCR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Taylor’s University in 2018 to form a strategic partnership in research and innovation, education and training.
As a strategic partner, GCR commits to providing curriculum input and expertise into Taylor’s coffee courses, conducting accreditation for both lecturers and students to become certified barista, co-organising both internal and external hospitality and culinary coffee based competitions, including assisting and coaching Taylor’s students in coffee competitions.
Executive Dean for Taylor’s Faculty of Hospitality, Food & Leisure Management Dr. Neethiahnanthan Ari Ragavan said, “this is a strategic partnership and the collaboration is especially meant for students to learn more about coffee, a rapidly growing industry where 2.25 billion cups of coffee a day are consumed. It is an industry that provides an amazing business opportunity to our students. I look forward to a successful collaboration with Global Coffee Resources.”
