What is BYSN?
BYSN stands for “Bilingual Youth Service Network” and is focused on providing employment support via coffee roasting. Here, employees with disabilities are trained to roast high-quality coffee beans using professional-grade roasting machines. This not only creates excellent coffee products, such as customized drip packs for companies but also enhances a company's visibility and employee satisfaction.
The initiative encourages social interactions through various company events and activities, contributing positively to the workplace atmosphere. Moreover, BYSN supports career development by assisting employees in acquiring certifications like Coffee Meister, helping them grow in their professional journey.
