Campaign to drive awareness for education, career advising services available through Archways to Opportunity and pair select restaurant employees with leaders across arts/entertainment, technology, entrepreneurship, healthcare and restaurant/food service for job shadowing opportunity
|
This campaign is based on employee insights from the company’s previously released Workforce Preparedness Study that analyzed generational sentiment around soft skills abilities, and identified the top industries McDonald’s restaurant employees aspire to be in, which include: arts/entertainment, technology, entrepreneurship, healthcare and restaurant/food service.
Through Where You Want To Be, McDonald’s aims to educate restaurant employees on the professional tools available to them through the company’s signature education and career advising program, Archways to Opportunity. Based on those top five industries identified, the company is partnering with five influencers in each industry to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for select employees to learn first-hand what a future career in their industry of choice looks like under the wings of an expert. These include:
“This campaign started by listening to employees,” said Melissa Kersey, McDonald’s U.S. Chief People Officer. “By connecting restaurant employees’ aspirations with the necessary education tools and career advising services to achieve them, we continue to reinforce our role as America’s Best First Job. Through this campaign and our ongoing education investments we are committed to helping all those who come to work for us – or our independent franchisees – to see the possibility of their own potential.”
“Our current workforce needs more innovative and flexible options for learning. In order to deliver on that need, employers and universities must be better aligned and more responsive to the needs of adult and working learners,” said Paul LeBlanc, President of Southern New Hampshire University, an Archways to Opportunity partner. “I have huge admiration for the work McDonald’s is doing to develop the workforce, foster greater educational attainment and unlock opportunities for restaurant employees.”
McDonald’s is leveraging the Where You Want To Be campaign to highlight the new suite of career advising tools available through its signature education program, Archways to Opportunity. Together with longstanding Archways education partner, Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), McDonald’s aims to improve employees’ experience with career pathing solutions to better position them for long-term career success. Designed to help restaurant employees identify potential career paths and then chart a course of action to achievement, these new or enhanced tools include:
“The focus McDonald’s is putting on restaurant employees and their education and future employability aligns perfectly with our mission, so we are proud to be taking our partnership to the next level,” said Dr. Marie Cini, President of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning. “As a young worker, it can be hard to look beyond the day-to-day and think about the future, but services like this can be a huge help for youth that may not know what careers are available to them and need help mapping out how to grow their skills, education and interests to be set up for success. With this new offering, McDonald’s is giving restaurant employees a big leg up in their journey to building the futures they want.”
Where You Want To Be underscores McDonald’s ongoing commitment to education and advancement opportunities. Key announcements in 2018 include:

About the Workforce Preparedness StudyEarlier this year McDonald’s in partnership with Morning Consult released a Workforce Preparedness Study, which analyzed generational sentiment around soft skills abilities. The study found that respondents believe soft skills, such as teamwork, customer service and responsibility are not only more impactful than hard skills for long-term career success, but also are best developed during a first job, which for many across America is with a company like McDonald's.
