To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I’m really enjoying it, the 1st part lessons were great and very informative. But not too over powering as we are able to look back and watch the lessons again online in case you forget any part with the amount of information given
Weekly tasks are helping me due to not being in school environment for a long time

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I’m learning to do the schedule and also more involved in the profit and loss so learning more of the financial side if McDonald’s and how to manage it
Main discipline manager learning more from HR to ensure things are in place and done correctly
Setting up well-being for Covid

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I think it’s very well organised especially since it’s had to change due to Covid which is great
The weekly tasks have been structured to help with the main assignments which is great in stead of having to go back to the beginning to do a task months later

How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I get lots of support from my manager
I get scheduled 1 day a week for uni which I’ve been able to take at home so I can concentrate just on uni and not get pulled into work, she also asks me weekly how it’s going and if I need anything she ensures I get it straight away to help

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I think the lessons are great and well structured not overwhelming and the tutor Deborah Stewart explained things well for everyone to understand and if need be she would reexplain if we didn’t get it
1 thing I feel and someone else asked the question too on the course would be some examples in how things should look it doesn’t need to be the same topic so no worries we would copy but I’ve been out of school over 15 years I haven’t had to do university level writing so some examples are extra support on these would be great

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I think it’s going to help me as it will give me a better understanding of the business and how it works from inside out
Also I hope not to leave McDonald’s but if I do I will have a better business mind frame to help me develop in my career path

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
At the minute due to Covid no we don’t have any social commitments.
We have a Facebook group for store which is kept updated and communicate with all staff
We have raffles for staff to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house charity
As Covid improves hopefully community projects like litter picks will happen again

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?
Be yourself
It’s not for everyone and it’s not what you think it’s not a dead end job like it’s perceived to be there’s great benefits you wouldn’t get anywhere else, the opportunities available are great to develop all the way through to business manager and above plus the opportunity to do a degree when your salaried is incredible opportunity
