Lecture Description
As facilitators of NKG PACE, an educational program designed to support underrepresented coffee professionals in advancing their careers, we’re continuously exploring the diverse and fulfilling opportunities available within the coffee industry —beyond the café.
Cafés often serve as entry points into the coffee world, introducing individuals to vibrant, likeminded communities; creatively rewarding skillsets; and a global industry that intersects with key issues including climate change, economics and social justice. But as professionals grow, many wonder: Is it possible to build a sustainable and rewarding career in coffee?
This panel seeks to explore pathways for professional and financial advancement within the industry, featuring insights from entrepreneurs, academics, machine makers, importers, non-profits and other coffee-adjacent professionals. Together, we’ll discuss how to find, consider and broaden opportunities in rewarding coffee careers.
