MCDONALD’S Philippines is ramping up the hiring of manager trainees this year to complement its expansion program in the country.
In a statement issued Thursday, the local operator of the international fastfood giant said it has already hired more than 1,000 manager trainees in 2017, with 100 more set to be hired before the year ends.
McDonald’s Philippines said it focused the additional hiring in “high demand areas” like Cebu, Davao, Aklan, Camarines Sur, and 16 cities in the National Capital Region, including Muntinlupa, Pateros, and Navotas.
“This year, alongside hiring a big number of trainees, we also want to ensure continued high standards in our training programs both in the classroom and on floor. We aim to provide a fun and empowered working environment, and to be a company that you will feel proud to be working for,” McDonald’s Philippines President and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth S. Yang said in a statement.
McDonald’s Philippines said college graduates, preferably with degrees in management, are encouraged to apply for the trainee program.
To date, the company has 550 stores around the country with nearly 60,000 regular full-time and part-time employees. McDonald’s Philippines is operated by Golden Arches Development Corp., the quick service restaurant business of tycoon Andrew L. Tan. — Arra B. Francia
