McDonald's creates 80 jobs in Kent
Comments |
McDonald’s is to serve up 80 new jobs in
Kent.
The global supplier of Big
Macs and other fast food said today the Kent jobs would be
among 2,500 new people needed across the UK over the next 12
months.
They will join the existing
workforce of 90,000.
Nearly a third of the jobs
will go to people taking on their first job, with more than half of
the jobs expected to go to people under the age of 25.
McDonald’s has created 13,500
new jobs over the last three years, fuelled by new restaurants,
longer opening hours, facelifts to existing outlets, new technology
such as Wi-Fi and Contactless payments, and new menus.
McDonald’s, which is
spearheading the Olympic volunteers training programme, has awarded
almost 35,000 qualifications from Maths and English certificates to
Foundation Degrees in the past five years.
McDonald’s said there would
be further investment and opportunities in its supply chain,
benefitting a range of industries including agriculture.
