FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA21) - McDonald's Restaurants and Ivy Tech Community College have teamed up to make college more affordable for workers.
Dubbed the McDonald's Archways to Opportunity education program, the alliance hopes to train the future workforce.
Through the program, restaurant employees who work a minimum of 90 days at 15 hours per week will be eligible for tuition assistance up to $2,500 per year as a crewmember and up to $3,000 as a manager.
"It helps us keep a good level of employees," a Fort Wayne McDonald's owner/operator said.
"People who are going to school are usually very good employees."
Ivy Tech will offer crosswalk credits to McDonald’s restaurant employees for some on-the-job training and classes, plus individualized counseling, allowing them to earn a degree faster.
More than 300 McDonald's locations and 18 Ivy Tech campuses will take part in the program.
Dr. Jerrilee Mosier, Chancellor of Ivy Tech’s Ft. Wayne campus, said students can choose any classes and degree field they want through the program.
Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb supports the initiative.
“This is the exact kind of forward-thinking partnership that enables Indiana to develop our skilled and ready workforce,” said Governor Eric Holcomb.
“The combined strength of these two great entities will allow thousands of students to pursue their dreams and simultaneously help keep Indiana’s economy moving full steam ahead.”
