May 17 2018 - 4:00PM
With summer around the corner, McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) and its
independent franchisees are gearing up to hire approximately 2,000
restaurant employees in Iowa to better serve customers this busy
season. This is good news for job seekers who are interested in
pursuing an education while working since McDonald’s recently
announced that it is allocating $150 million over five years to its
global Archways to Opportunity education program,
including lowering eligibility requirements from nine months to 90
days of employment and dropping weekly shift minimums from 20 hours
to 15 hours, making new summer restaurant employees eligible by the
end of the season.
This investment will provide almost 400,000 U.S. restaurant
employees with an opportunity to earn a high school diploma,
receive upfront tuition assistance for college courses, access
academic advising courses and learn English as a second language.
Additionally eligible crew will have access to $2,500/year in
tuition assistance, up from $700/year and eligible managers will
have access to $3,000/year, up from $1,050.
“Building a better McDonald’s means recognizing we can help
employees earn and learn. I’m proud that my employees are
participating in the Archways to Opportunity program, which helps
them achieve their goals at McDonald’s and beyond,” Cara Van
Steenis, Iowa McDonald’s Owner/Operator shared.
Archways to Opportunity has awarded more than $21 million in
high school and college tuition assistance as part of the company’s
journey to build a better McDonald’s and set people up for success
at McDonald’s and beyond. More than half of the hires at
company-owned restaurants are projected to be between the ages of
16 to 24 years old, and for many, it is their first job.
