Come and meet three SYB graduates at Barney’s Bakery !
海上青焙坊毕业生回访之巴尼烘焙坊
In March, we had the pleasure to visit one of SYB’ employment partners: Barney’s Bakery. Located in Jiading district right in front of Jiaotong University campus, Barney’s Bakery can be defined as a community bakery, as it reaches out to the local communities living in the neighborhood, the schools as well as the foreign exchange students.
In the pursuit of offering quality products to her customers, Stephanie, founder of Barney’s Bakery, has successfully hired three graduates from the 7th batch of Young Bakers following the Career Fair organized last July.
今年三月，我们有幸拜访了海上青焙坊的就业合作伙伴之一巴尼烘焙坊。巴尼烘焙坊位于嘉定区，就坐落在交通大学校园前。巴尼烘焙坊被定义为一个社区烘焙坊，因为它主要的顾客群体是当地社区居民、学校学生以及外国交换生。
出于向顾客提供高品质商品的追求，巴尼烘焙坊的创始人Stephanie在去年七月海上青焙坊举办的招聘会上成功地录用了三名第七届青焙坊毕业生。
On that morning, three happy faces welcomed us at the entrance of the bakery and it is with great excitement and curiosity that we entered the bakery shop. After getting updates from each of the graduates, they offered us a tour of the kitchen, from the equipment to the ingredients, production and decoration, their knowledge of the kitchen equipment and ingredients was impressive, and we could see a real passion in their eyes!
From French-style to Taiwanese style breads, from cookies to cakes, from sweet to savory, the graduates have the opportunity to bake a wide range of different products every day and even to develop their own recipes! In addition, they will have the chance to learn how to make coffee and have the chance to be in direct contact with the customers to receive their feedback, another great way to learn!
一大早，三名毕业生在烘焙坊的门口迎接我们，他们脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容。我们怀着激动而好奇的心情进入了烘焙店。简单寒暄后，毕业生们带领着我们参观了厨房，从设备到食材，制作过程和最后装饰，他们对于厨房设备和食材的了解令人印象深刻，我们可以从他们的目光中看到他们对烘焙与这份工作怀抱的热情。
从法式面包到台式面包，从饼干到蛋糕，从甜点到咸点，毕业生们每天都烘焙着许多不同的面点，他们甚至可以研发自己的配方！除此之外，他们还可以学习如何冲调咖啡，并且可以直接与顾客接触以获得他们的反馈，又是一种很棒的学习途径！
“I really enjoy working at Barney’s Bakery, the people are very good here and treat us very well, their expectation of our work is also very demanding and professional, which is good for us to constantly improve”, says Xiao Wang.
“We even have the chance to imagine and develop our own recipes, and after it passes the whole team’s approval, the product will be proposed to the customers, it is really great to have room for creativity”, says Xiao Zhang.
“我非常享受在巴尼烘焙坊工作，这里的人很好，对我们也很友善。同事们对我们工作的期待很高也非常专业，这促使我们不断地提升自己，”小王说。
“我们甚至可以构思和研发自己的配方，如果它得到了整个团队的通过，那么这个产品就会被提供给顾客，可以发挥自己的创造力真的很棒，”小张说。
We are always extremely proud when visiting our graduates in their work place, when we learn more about their current situation, career plans and new expectations. It is also part of our role to encourage them while facing difficulties at work and to be there if they have any technical or personal questions.
