At Starbucks, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to get a college degree. This fall, thousands of our partners (employees) go back to Arizona State University online with 100% tuition offered through the Starbucks College Achievement Plan (SCAP). While the school year may be starting differently than expected, our SCAP partners are doing what it takes to get their college degree, and we believe you can too! We believe in investing in our partners and helping them achieve their dreams. Becoming a Starbucks partner can qualify you for SCAP and 100% tuition coverage toward a first-time bachelor?s degree through Arizona State University?s online program.
With more than 32,000 stores worldwide, Starbucks has always considered itself as a destination ? or a "third place" between work and home. And as we navigate ongoing health crisis, customers are seeking experiences that are safe, familiar, and convenient. In a recent Yahoo Finance Interview, ceo Kevin Johnson shared his thoughts.
We believe in building innovation that drives our core business. Through the Starbucks Tryer Center, we innovate faster and smarter. In fact, ceo Kevin Johnson believes in being fast enough to bring ideas to action in 100 days. For many of our Tryer Center partners (employees), that means constantly experimenting with new beverage and food ideas, expanding our plant-based food and beverage innovation and always bringing something special to your Starbucks cup. For some of our Starbucks Technology partners, it means focusing on ways technology can further our connection with customers.
During the recent Starbucks quarterly earnings call, ceo Kevin Johnson provided insight to how the business is staying ahead of evolving customer behaviors, the business recovery strategy and opportunities going forward. ?As we continue to drive the recovery, we are also building resilience for the future by accelerating the transformation of our business in ways that will elevate the customer and partner experience and drive long-term growth. We firmly believe that we are well positioned to regain the positive business momentum we had before the pandemic began and look forward to reigniting our ?Growth at Scale? agenda,? Johnson said.
