To participate in McDonald’s work experience programmes, individuals can choose between the virtual Work Experience Programme and the in-restaurant Student Work Experience Programme.

Interested individuals can access the virtual Work Experience programme through Youth Employment UK. There are two modules available: one focusing on introducing students to different sectors and industries, and the other focusing on McDonald’s-specific employability skills.

For the in-restaurant Student Work Experience Programme, full-time students can join the team at their local McDonald’s restaurant for either five or ten days. Participants gain hands-on work experience, learn new skills, and have the opportunity to meet new people.

Interested individuals can learn more about the programme and search for opportunities near them on the McDonald’s website. Additionally, McDonald’s provides further resources to support job readiness skills through various platforms like Youth Employment UK’s Get Job Ready and Young Professional training. Interested individuals can also visit the McDonald’s careers hub for more information.
