Food chain to hire 1,000 Makati senior high studes
I hope that our student-trainees will be eager to learn skills that will increase their competence and help them land gainful employment eventually
A food chain operating in the country expressed its willingness to hire up to 1,000 public senior high school (SHS) and special education (SpEd) students for their stores in Makati City.
Makati City Mayor Abby Binay met with McDonald’s Philippines president and CEO Kenneth Yang last Monday where the latter expressed interest in expanding the existing tie-up between Makati and McDonald’s Philippines through the SHS work immersion program. “The City of Makati welcomes this opportunity to enhance our partnership with McDonald’s Philippines through the hiring of additional student-trainees under our work immersion program,” Mayor Abby said. “We are grateful for their readiness to help our students earn extra income while being trained and taught useful skills that would make them highly employable.”
Records of the Department of Education-Makati stated that 83 SHS students from five public schools have undergone work immersion for McDonald’s from October 2017 to August 2019.
These schools include Fort Bonifacio SHS, Makati SHS, Nemesio I. Yabut SHS, Maximo Estrella SHS, and Pitogo SHS.
The mayor urged the students who will qualify for the said project to do their best to learn and be of help to McDonald’s in serving its customers.
“I hope that our student-trainees will be eager to learn skills that will increase their competence and help them land gainful employment eventually,” she said.
She added Yang vowed to prioritize the city’s SHS graduates in the hiring of personnel for their Makati stores to boost employment in the city.
