Western Australia

As one of Australia’s largest employers and trainers, McDonald’s employs more than 100 000 Australians and invests around $5 million in employee training and development in Western Australia. Proud of the opportunities they give their people to grow, they see training as an investment, not a cost.

For McDonald’s today’s crew member is tomorrow’s business leader and examples of this are prevalent throughout the organisation. McDonald’s upholds strict standards to ensure employees are fully trained in each area of restaurant operations, from customer service to equipment maintenance. Additionally there are many corporate office opportunities, with thorough internal training and development, and policies for regular job rotation.

Fostering a culture of lifelong learning, their goal is to ensure that McDonald’s employees, at every level, have access to the highest quality training and are encouraged to participate in both professional and personal development activities throughout their McDonald’s journey.
