Outstanding participants can also experience internships at Starbucks headquarters and global Starbucks experiences. The recruitment target is university freshmen entering in 2025, and final selection will be made through document screening and interviews. The deadline for submitting application documents is April 16th at 3 PM, and detailed information can be found in the announcements section on the Green Umbrella website.
