Partners

Our success starts and ends with our partners. That’s why we’re working to make Starbucks the unrivaled best job in retail.

Go to college, on us.

In FY24, Starbucks celebrated ten years of the Starbucks College Achievement Plan (SCAP). Through SCAP, U.S. partners can get 100% tuition coverage for a first-time bachelor’s degree at Arizona State University (ASU). More than 26,000 partners are participating, and as of FY24 more than 14,000 have graduated with degrees from ASU.

It’s why we’re called partners.

In 1991, Starbucks introduced a groundbreaking stock program, turning employees into true partners. Through Bean Stock Grants, we grant our partners equity ownership in the company annually. To date, more $2.4 billion in pre-tax gains have been granted to partners.

Honoring community, connection and craft.

In FY24, we introduced the first-ever North America Barista Championship designed to celebrate the craft and community of Starbucks baristas. Similar events are held annually in global markets from South America and Asia to the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
