More than 12 individuals with developmental disabilities are part of their program.
The shop offers three different programs for trainees.
The Chocolatier program teaches baking and chocolate making as well as health, hygiene, independence and social development skills.
The Barista course teaches coffee making and social skills for working in both cafes and restaurants.
