McDonald's Expands Youth Training Program
McDonald's, attempting to improve equity in skills training for youth, is expanding its Passport to Success (PTS) Explorer digital curriculum. McDonald's plans to reach up to 100,000 students through non-profits, community organizations and post-secondary institutions that support diverse communities. In partnership with the International Youth Foundation (IYF), the curriculum teaches communication skills, self-awareness and management skills, along with guidance on how to build healthy relationships and conflict management. McDonald’s youth initiative efforts come as the restaurant chain aims to improve workplace culture, after numerous lawsuits have been filed in recent months alleging sexual harassment and racial discrimination in the workplace.
