McDonald's plans to hire over 375,000 workers this summer, offers education programs
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – McDonald's announced it plans to hire over 375,000 new workers this summer in the U.S.
McDonald's says the large-scale hiring is driven by a combination of factors, including increased summer demand, turnover, and plans for new restaurant development. They are planning to open 900 new restaurants by 2027. The hiring spree would mark McDonald's largest hiring initiative in years.
The fast food chain is also marking its 10th anniversary of the Archways to Opportunity program. Over 90,000 employees furthered their education with the help of the initiative. This includes high school diploma programs, college tuition assistance, access to free education and career advising services, and learning English as a second language.
Owner and Operator of over 20 McDonald's across Massachusetts, Mark McBee has contributed nearly $1M in tuition assistance to his employees. A current employee, for example, is set to graduate this week with their second master's degree.
