In the first four years of operations, a total of 72 students from different origins and background graduated from SYB.

Today, 67% of them are working in the bakery industry.

Since SYB started applying a strict and selective recruitment process for its students (based not only on partner NGOs recommendations but also on a face-to-face or phone interview with each candidate), the number of graduates remaining in the bakery industry has risen to 100%.

In 2012, 80% of the students had one to three bakery job offers even before graduating. 100% of the students started their career as a baker or pastry chef within 2 weeks after graduation.

Of all the SYB graduates working in the bakery industry, 72% of them work in Shanghai, while 17% found related work closer to home. 15% moved to another city (Ningbo, Hangzhou, Suzhou…) to pursue their bakery career.

They work in the following environment:
