MoU signed to provide Motorbike Café training to unemployed people

The Department of Skill Development has joined hands with corporate giant Nestle to train some 5,000 unemployed people to run Motorbike Café businesses within three years.

Department director-general Thawatchai Benjathikul and Sathawut Sahapanichkul, managing director of distribution at Nestle Thailand Co Ltd, signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday (January 24).
“This project aims to provide unemployed people with training on how to make a variety of beverages such as coffee, bubble tea, Italian soda and milkshake and sell them from a motorcycle,” said Thawatchai. “The 15-hour training course over two days will cover several topics from beverage-making, cost-calculation, bookkeeping as well as a motorcycle riding course.”
