In addition, McDonald’s is partnering with AARP to post its U.S. restaurant job openings on the latter organization’s job board, which is for employers who are “committed to an age-diverse workforce and looking for experienced talent.”
McDonald’s USA said it also will work with the AARP Foundation on a pilot program that “aligns employer and candidate job needs and interests” through the foundation’s Senior Community Service Employment Program and BACK TO WORK 50+ workforce development programs. The pilot will start in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and North Carolina before rolling out nationwide in the summer.
McDonald’s reported it has provided more than $3.1 million in tuition assistance and supported 1,469 restaurant workers in Pennsylvania through the company’s Archways to Opportunity program — for eligible employees who have worked for at least 90 days and 15 hours a week.
McDonald’s realized net income of about $5.9 billion last year, up from just under $5.2 billion in 2017, according to its 2018 annual report. The company added 614 restaurants in 2018, for a year-end total of 37,855.
