Our commitment to being the best job in retail
Our success begins with our partners, which is why Starbucks aims to offer the best job in retail.
Whether it’s career, college or family — we want to make sure partners have the opportunities they need to grow with Starbucks, or wherever their journey takes them.
As part of our Back to Starbucks strategy, we made bold investments throughout FY25 to elevate the retail partner experience in North America — because when we invest in our people, everything gets better.

my bachelor’s degree and I don’t have to go into debt. Very thankful to Starbucks!”
In FY25, Starbucks celebrated 11 years of the Starbucks College Achievement Plan (SCAP). Through SCAP, eligible U.S. partners can get 100% upfront tuition coverage for a first-time bachelor’s degree online at Arizona State University (ASU). As of the end of FY25, more than 28,000 partners participated, and nearly 17,000 had graduated with degrees from ASU.
