McDonald’s is the largest employer of young people in Australia and many teenagers gain their first job experience in a McDonald’s restaurant at the same time as undertaking full-time studies.
Approximately 70 per cent of McDonald’s crew are secondary school students. This gives McDonald’s a significant responsibility to provide an employment experience that their employees will always value, one that is flexible, complements their lifestyles and provides opportunities for the development of life-long skills.
As a Registered Training Organisation, McDonald’s Australia invests more than $40 million in training their crew, managers and corporate employees.
