Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5
Something different daily. A job that fits this description is usually lying 🤥. This one is not. From working on the drive thru to completing important daily food safety checks, or spinning a Mcflurry. Each comes with its own challenge and a different area of the restaurant to work. Every shift is a learning opportunity.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
The tutor i had through mcdonalds apprenticeship partner (lifetime training) was amazing. Guided me through the programme and helped me understand stand it. The online platform for learning was amazing as well. It incorporated a variety of different ways to learn which stopped me losing interest. Which with ADHD can be extremely difficult sometimes! My weekly learning sessions felt fun and intriguing rather than tiresome.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
