The global coffee education platform that supports coffee professionals
It’s time for coffee education to evolve, go digital, and expand access to all coffee professionals. This is how Coffee Knowledge Hub was born, a completely new platform where the coffee community can learn, connect and discover the latest in education, research and trends in the coffee industry.
The platform is the brainchild of Simonelli Group in collaboration with globally experienced trainers. Courses will be delivered online and through a network of training centers around the world. The Coffee Knowledge Hub already has more than 30 courses taught by industry leaders, international course providers and coffee schools. By the end of 2021, the Hub will seek to expand to offer 60 digital courses to train more than 1,000 students.
The Coffee Knowledge Hub (CKH) is also an open platform for all those who provide high-quality courses and resources. Invite the global coffee community to a learning experience with access to the best courses around the world, the opportunity to connect and discover the latest trends, with research and with the people who shape our industry. The website www.coffeeknowledgehub.com also features courses from Coffee Sensorium, SCA, Caffeine consulting and the Coffee Knowledge Hub.
Leading the Simonelli Group movement.
The Simonelli Group Academy has been a pioneer in training for the past two decades. The group offered the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) Q program, SCA’s Coffee Skills Programs and Coffee Chemistry along with tailored technical training courses.
“The Coffee Knowledge Hub brings together industry-leading courses in a new digital format, offering the global coffee community the opportunity to change, grow and evolve their skills by embracing new trends and technologies. In fact, the Hub is based on the growth mindset approach, the value of connection, sharing insights, experience and practice. What’s more, in Coffee Knowledge Hub we have brought all of Simonelli Group’s 20 years of experience to support coffee professionals”-said Fabio Ceccarani, CEO of Simonelli Group.
Looking for partners to scale the movement
In the coming weeks Coffee Knowledge Hub will also announce the names of important new training partners. It is an opportunity for training schools to expand the exposure of their courses and address new conversations about the future of coffee on the Coffee Knowledge Hub platform.
“We are working with a network of industry leaders including renowned researchers, training schools and trainers to offer coffee professionals new opportunities to develop their careers and achieve higher quality. The Coffee Knowledge Hub platform will have a specific focus on the sustainability of the entire coffee value chain, which is now more important than ever”-recalls Andrew Tolley, an industry expert who co-created the new platform with the Simonelli Group team.
Also soon to be launched is the Coffee Knowledge Hub podcast section with a series exploring the coffee menu, addressing various topics ranging from the carbon footprint of the coffee menu to new product development to pricing. The podcasts will also be enhanced with an expanding series of articles, research and other media.
