[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon]Starbucks Coffee Korea announced on the 15th that it has operated an educational support program in collaboration with Hanyang Cyber University to assist Starbucks partners in obtaining bachelor's degrees, with the cumulative number of participants surpassing 1,500 this year.
