Every year the Finance, Marketing and HR departments of McDonald’s accept interns for 10 weeks. During this time interns are trained on how to be part of a group and also on how to work individually. The system at McDonald’s is designed such that the impact of interns is felt beyond their groups. Interns get to meet with decision-makers in the company and they get to understand how McDonald’s remains one of the biggest restaurant franchises in the world. Interns are placed in teams where they are mentored and taught the importance of not only hard work but of smart and honest work too.
