Stirring Learning

Who would have thought that one small Piaggio coffee cart could be used in so many ways?

Make great coffee

The coffee cart makes an unusual and quirky addition to any event – corporate, private or charity. Read more here.

Influence a future generation

Management training and development company Clearworth has created a programme to set young people up with traditional business skills that will stay with them for life. We take recent school leavers and young people from youth groups or schools, and show them how to plan and run their own business – a coffee cart.

They will be making their own decisions, living by their mistakes and celebrating their successes. This is a learning experience that’s also great fun for everyone involved. Read more here.

Staff get streetwise business skills

A perfect management-training tool for graduates and fast-track learners, Clearworth trains participants in real-life business skills and coaching techniques, which they then use to help the young people make their most of their opportunity. This is management training made tangible. Measured in coffee cups, in fact.

And, as a socially responsible and publicity friendly exercise, the benefits of this project sit well with businesses keen to support the community. Read more here.

The Coffee Cart Project is just one of a whole array of ideas and training that Clearworth offers. You can find out more about us here.

With the winter season looming we have expanded our training options to include work with an indoor coffee machine. This means that training can be carried out in all weathers as well as in locations without space for our fully grown Piaggio coffee cart. Current projects include a Macmillan coffee morning with Sidcot school.

A Cup of Clearworth goes to school!

Clearworth has been busy running coffee cart projects with schools in London. The first, on 7 July, was with a group of girls at Skinners School in Stamford Hill, North London. It was part of a Business Enterprise day organised in conjunction with The Young Chamber. Clearworth took two groups of girls through creating their own coffee brand, operating the cart, sales and customer service, and over £50 was made, which the girls decided to donate to cancer research. You can read more about the event here.

On the week beginning 14 July, Clearworth ran a three day coffee cart project with girls from Highbury Fields School. It was a huge success, with the girls creating their own Coffee delight Coffee bar and raising over £140 for Great Ormond Street. Coffee Cart training was provided by Youri Vlag of www.absolutecoffee.co.uk and all girls received a barista certificate at the end of their training. You can see photos from the event at our gallery here.

This event was kindly sponsored by the BBC.

Highbury Fields are now looking at having a permanent coffee enterprise project at school, with groups of girls being responsible for the project for half a term. As well as the girls learning about the business world the staff are keen on the idea as they enjoyed having excellent coffee hand delivered to them.
