Ep. 97: From Crew to Career: Transforming Lives with McDonald's Archways to Opportunity

McDonald’s is more than just the home of burgers, fries and shakes. It's a place where employees can learn valuable basic customer service skills and gain needed entry-level managerial experience. One in 8 Americans has worked at a McDonald's at some point in their lives, gaining these life-changing skills firsthand.In addition to on-the-job experiences where McDonald's provides chances to learn these skills — a program called Archways to Opportunity® offers employees and their family members the chance to learn English, access tuition assistance for college, and earn high school diplomas through an online program!Our podcast team recently traveled to a McDonald’s franchise in Bridgeville, Delaware, to learn about this program and hear the story of a teen mom and former McDonald's employee who now has a career at Nemours Children’s Health after earning her high school diploma through Archways to Opportunity.Guests:Erin Voss, Manager, Education Strategy & Analytics, McDonald's Corp.Michael Meoli, President and Owner/Operator, The Meoli CompaniesQuontisha Chisholm, Medical Administrative Assistant, Nemours Children’s Health, Delaware ValleyCarol Vassar, host/producerViews expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views of the host or management.  Subscribe, review or let your voice be heard at NemoursWellBeyond.org.
