McDonald’s employees can now receive credits towards a college business diploma, thanks to a new agreement between Colleges Ontario and McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada.
Canadore College’s vice-president of academic, Mary O’Farrell-Bowers, says the agreement is a win-win situation for everyone.
McDonald’s employees, who have completed specific McDonald’s training, will be eligible to be granted the equivalent of a first-year credit for a business or business administration program at one of 24 public colleges in Ontario.
O’Farrell-Bowers says Canadore College is pleased to be able to recognize their training, commitment, dedication and experience towards a formal provincial credential.
