Important information about joining Baking Lab

• We are a small organization (bakery, workshops, café) where multitasking is essential.
• Onboarding happens gradually and often starts in combination with tasks in the café.
• Many of our team members combine their work at Baking Lab with a study or another job.
• Before being able to teach, you first work and learn as a volunteer in the bakery for a period (program A and B). The longer you are involved with us, the more responsibility you can take on: you may join a team, take on management tasks, and gradually shift your focus from the café or bakery to our educational projects.
• The number of available hours varies by period. Colleagues who are already working with us or who are enrolled in programs A and B are given priority when new hours are assigned.

Volunteer >> informal training program School for Circular Innovation A or B? Program A (minimal 3 months) We also occasionally offer a limited volunteer program (Program B) for those interested in working and learning with us for a minimum of three months, without the need for a long-term commitment. Program B (long term, becoming part of our active teachers team) Our volunteer program is an informal training program that initially focuses on learning how to make sourdough bread and deepening your knowledge of fermentation and circular processes in the bakery. You will gain practical experience and learn to master both the craft and the underlying theory. Once you have acquired sufficient knowledge and experience, you can assist in giving workshops and later lead them yourself. Additionally, you will actively contribute to improving new circular processes, allowing you to eventually become a member of the core team at the School for Circular Innovation. Who is this program for? The informal training period lasts a minimum of three months, during which you should be available for at least two shifts per week to gain experience and knowledge in our bakery. Throughout this time, we will regularly discuss your progress and develop plans to integrate you into the teaching team at the school.
