SHANGHAI, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — Fast food chain McDonald's China on Tuesday announced plans to spend more than 400 million yuan (about 56.3 million U.S. dollars) over the next three years to train and cultivate skilled labor force, with a focus on upgrading its Hamburger University in the eastern Chinese metropolis of Shanghai.
According to the company's statement, the university's modernization will be carried out in three main areas: making it more intelligent and open, focused on more comprehensive growth, and creating a system for cultivating food service professionals in the digital age.
The announcement of the investment plan coincides with the 15th anniversary of the Hamburger University in Shanghai, which was founded in 2010 and became McDonald's' seventh such institution worldwide. Each year, approximately 10,000 McDonald's China employees attend in-person training at the university, and another 200,000 employees complete corporate training through the university's online learning platform.
McDonald's China CEO Phyllis Cheung said the company's expansion – from about 1,000 chain restaurants in mainland China in 2010, when the Hamburger University was established in Shanghai, to the current 7,400 restaurants – underscores the institution's fundamental role in the company's talent pipeline.
Lili Li, President of Shanghai Hamburger University, assured that in the face of the need to develop a talent pool in the new era, the university is committed to cultivating more outstanding restaurant management professionals. -0-
