Colleges and universities open cafes for "entrepreneurial class" training students to save credits while working as shop assistants.

Learn to make coffee, cakes and cookies and earn credits. Yesterday, the reporter learned from a cafe named Sunshine Coffee in Wuchang Vocational College that this shop is actually a comprehensive entrepreneurial training center for hotel management of the school, where students learn skills as shop assistants while saving credits for professional courses.

Zhang Xiuling, a teacher majoring in hotel management in the School of Tourism, said that the cafe took more than three months to build and can carry out teaching such as West Point Baking, Western Food Simulation training, Wine and Coffee Simulation training, and so on. Liu Zheng, the manager of the cafe and a graduate majoring in hotel management, said that nine shop assistants were selected from more than 800 students majoring in the major through interviews and written tests, and set up a "start-up class."

Isn't it too easy to learn to make coffee and save credits? Liu Zheng said that in fact, each student in the "entrepreneurial class" pays more than the other students. They study in the store from 7 a.m. to 09:30 every night, and each stage is comprehensively judged by an examination team composed of seven teachers. You can only get credit if you pass the exam.

Du Chuang, one of the shop assistants and a freshman from Xiantao, said he was impatient and seldom did housework at home. But after coming to the store, they learned to make cookies and cakes, and they were impressed when they came home from May Day short holiday and showed their skills to their parents. "I want to accumulate some employment experience here to prepare for starting a business in the future."
