Every year at the time of the Graduation Ceremony in July, Shanghai Young Bakers organises a Career Fair, so that bakeries, restaurants and hotels who wish to hire SYB graduates can present their working opportunities and interview motivated candidates.

Here are some of the companies who share SYB’s commitment to excellence and social responsibility, and who have successfully hired SYB graduates to help them grow to the next level.

Find out more about how to participate in the next Career Fair and recruiting SYB graduates here or by contacting us at partnerships@shanghaiyoungbakers.com.

Sunflour Bakery & Café

Sunflour Bakery & Café prides itself in having a great responsibility to completely assure and satisfy their customers on providing them with fresh organic, high quality virtually all handmade food with the true knowledge of what it is and where it came from.

“What you will experience in our store is an opportunity of eating and drinking fresh, high quality, handmade food, which you won’t be able to find anywhere else.”

Thanks to the long-standing support of Guo Lifei, the head baker, one SYB graduate from the class of 2010 and three SYB graduates from the class of 2013 are working at Sunflour.

Pantry’s Best

Pantry’s Best was founded by an American in Beijing in 2009 with a singular mission: to make the best pies in China. They believe they’ve done just that.

“We’ve scoured the land for the best ingredients to fulfill our mission. We import butter from New Zealand, cream cheese from Australia, and dark chocolate from Europe. We’ve even managed to hunt down rhubarb for our strawberry rhubarb pies. You won’t be disappointed by the result: flakey, buttery pies with scrumptious filling. And our pies are always made fresh to order.”

Pantry’s Best hired two SYB graduates from the class of 2012.

House of Flour

Brian Tan’s famous desert venture House of Flour offers amazing chocolate cakes and other delicious pastry creations, paired with researched cocktails and quality wines, in several stylish venues across Shanghai.

One graduate from the class of 2011 was successfully hired by HoF.
