Ontario's Colleges and McDonald's Ink Groundbreaking Agreement
USAgNet - 08/23/2016

For the first time in Ontario, McDonald's employees can now receive credits towards a college business diploma, thanks to a new agreement between Colleges Ontario and McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited.

The agreement will create a provincewide partnership with McDonald's Canada, a leading Canadian business, to establish a prior-learning recognition system. McDonald's employees, who have completed specific McDonald's training, will be eligible to be granted the equivalent of first-year credit for a business or business administration program at one of twenty-four (24) public colleges in Ontario. This may lead to significant cost-savings for eligible employees by reducing the number of courses and time required to earn a diploma -- with potential savings of up to $4,500.

"We're thrilled to offer such an amazing program with McDonald's Canada," said Linda Franklin, the president and CEO of Colleges Ontario. "This unique arrangement marks a new way of thinking about how employees can get access to further education and training without repeating learning they have already acquired. It's the type of innovative partnership that colleges and businesses will be doing more of as Canada looks to strengthen its workforce and its economy."

Across Ontario, 24 public colleges have agreed to grant recognition for first-year business credit into the business diploma or business administration advanced diploma (or the relevant related program at each local college) to McDonald's managers who have successfully completed the management development program level 2, with some additional requirements. This means that employees will have the opportunity to directly enter a second-year business diploma or business administration advanced diploma program.
