EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AT SAXBYS®
A revolution in education, fueled by a rave-worthy menu.
The Saxbys Experiential Learning Platform (E.L.P.)® is founded on the belief that young people should be empowered and prepared to mold the business movement of the future.
"During my time as a Student Cafe Executive Officer (SCEO)®, I learned SO much about myself not only as a leader but as a person in general. I also learned how to interact with and lead many different individuals, which is a very important life skill. I truly believe my experience operating a cafe while being in college led me to my next adventure - District Manager for Aldi - after graduation! Thank you, Saxbys!"
- Isabel Thompson, Penn State University, Spring 2021 SCEO; District Manager, Aldi
