There are 50,000 of them in com- munities like ours across the coun- try. Most of them are students -- many earning their first pay cheque with this first job experience. They are employees of McDonald's Restaurants and they are benefiting from innovative training practices as first-time employees in the work force. This year, McDonald's dedicated its 500th Canadian restaurant located on the site of Expo 86 in Van- couver. But behind the economic impact of McDonald's is a serious commitment to employee educa- tion. It's the straightforward philosophy of McDonald's founder, Ray Kroc, that McDonald's 'takes the hamburger business more seriously than anyone else."

LOB 1NO 985-2420 RALPH RAINES McDonald's in Richmond, British Columbia, in 1967, McDonald's opened its management training centre, The Canadian Institute of Hamburgerology, in Toronto. Believing the need for training in the restaurant business never stops, McDonald's provides extensive in- struction to all employees -- from on-site crew training to the advanc- ed operations course for managers and owner operators. Being the first employer for a large percentage of its 50,000 employees is a responsibility McDonald's does not take lightly. Employees, or McDonald's crews, have the opportunity to learn about every aspect of operations from start to finish of the business day. Corporately produced audio-visual tapes teach crews how to work every position behind the counter and in front of the grill, from cook- ing french fries and preparing the famous 'Big Macs,' to customer relations and personal presentation. After watching the training videos, employees practise what they've learned under the reassuring guidance of an experienced partner. Every three months, staff members also participate in crew meetings with open discussions about policies, procedures or products. Formal education is also en- couraged at McDonald's. Through the company's scholarship pro- gram, established 15 years ago, crew members of B or higher academic standing are eligible for tuition awards of $400 towards their post-secondary education. Students enjoy the option of scheduling work commitments around school, fami- ly and other obligations. If school or family commitments require a tem- porary leave from active employ- ment, students can request a leave "of absence for up to 12 months while continuing as a McDonald's employee. Beyond day-to-day business ac- tivities, crews also learn about com- munity and public relations. For ex- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 2, 1986 -- 47 They're in training for the Golden Arches ample, on McHappy Day, crews work alongside local dignitaries, celebrities, business and sports per- sonalities to help McDonald's generate funds for local children's charities. More than four million dollars have been donated from this event during the last five years. Family Nights, are a regular feature at McDonald's. Parents and guardians of employees are invited to the restaurant to meet other employees and to gain an understanding of jobs their children are assigned. Through discussions about work-related issues, parents feel confident their children are learning basic good business prac- tices that will help them in future careers. Working for McDonald's is hard work. But as George Cohon, Presi- dent of McDonald's Restaurants of Canada, explains, 'I receive letters two to three times a week from parents (of McDonald's employees) who say what a great training job we're doing. We provide a place to learn work ethics." Time is invested in training its employees is well spent. McDonald's crews are greeting one and half million Canadian customers every day. This year, they will serve 78 million pounds of potatoes along with 55 million ham- burgers sandwiched between 29 million dozen buns. Remax Lakers scuddled in the Woodville Tournament This past weekend saw the Remax Lakers travel to Woodville for the Maroon's 5th Annual Tour- nament. In Thursday action, the Remax boys defeated Markham 3-2 on a pair of goals by Ray Zaparanuik and a single tally by Denzil Irving. Rick Olaisen counted for 2 assists while Jim Beatty and Ron Jeffrey were credited with 1 each. The game featured total domina- tion by the Lakers but time and time again they were denied by the Markham goalie and numerous goal posts. Saturday proved to be disastrous for the local lads. An early morning game against Fenelon Falls ended in a 3-1 loss. Ken Smart scored the lone Remax goal assisted by Bob Lee. In. a "must win" situation against Stouffville Classics in Can- nington, the Remax squad came up on the short end of a 4-2 score. Ken Smart cashed in on both Remax goals with assists to Carl Fitzgerald, Bob Lee and Mike Driscoll. This game deteriorated into a penalty riddled affair as both teams needed the win to advance to the final. The long layoff between tour- naments for the Remax Lakers showed in their offensive -attack. Hopefully, they will regroup and get "back to their winning ways this com- ing weekend in the Sunderland Tournament.
