New Delhi: In its endeavour of driving change and making a positive impact in the local communities, McDonald’s India – North and East is set to hire 50 per cent of its workforce of 1500 people through non-government organizations by 2025.

McDonald’s India – North and East has launched the community campaign ‘McDonald’s For Youth’ – that aims to meaningfully contribute towards India’s growth story by providing gainful employment prospects to the local communities, especially the less-privileged.

The ‘McDonald’s For Youth’ initiative mostly recruits the freshers. It is an important milestone in their walk of life. Besides being their first source of income, the young minds benefit from the McDonald’s global training curriculum through which they acquire the right skills and knowledge desired to succeed in their career path. 

Talking about the initiative, Rajeev Ranjan, Managing Director, McDonald’s India – North and East, said, ‘McDonalds for Youth’ is a campaign through which we aim to offer gainful employment for the youth, especially from the under-privileged communities who have limited education and employment opportunities. We invite more organizations to join us in our endeavour to dismantle the barriers to equal opportunities, economic growth and empower the youth to excel in their work and life'.

The brand has hired more than 500 young people over the last year, partnering with several reputed not-for-profit organizations such as Magic Bus, Tech Mahindra foundation, Quess Corp Foundation, and Tarraqi, amongst others.

McDonald’s India- North and East aims to create a ripple effect by leading positive change extending far beyond the walls of the restaurants and serving brighter futures providing equal opportunities. /BI/
