McDonalds support the Work Inspiration Campaign

By Food Job Blogger on 14 April 2010 | Comments 0

International fast food company McDonalds has launched a revamped work experience and placement programme for students aged 14 -19, an initiative that fully supports the Work Inspiration Campaign.

The Work Inspiration Campaign is a Business in the Community-led initiative that encourages UK food job employers to offer more varied and stimulating work experience placements for young people. Since it launched back in September 2009, the Campaign has been working with UK employers towards one ultimate goal: 10,000 improved work placements by September 2010.

Many big-name companies are on board, including Marks & Spencer, BT, Royal Mail and McDonalds. The latter of these has always been known as a forward-thinking promoter of food job development, and the company's latest work experience scheme demonstrates to a further extent.

As part of the new McDonald's programme, students aged between 14 and 19 will have the chance to gain valuable transferable skills and support their curriculum education whilst on a stimulating 10 day experience as part of the McDonald's team.

Regional bosses believe that skills such as teamworking and customer service can be taken forward into any food job, whilst the experience as a whole showcases what career opportunities are available to young people in the UK.
