McDonald\u2019s Malaysia has achieved another milestone in human capital development following the accreditation by the Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia to the company as provider of apprenticeship programmes under the National Dual Training System (Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional)<\/p>\n
The achievement underscores McDonald\u2019s commitment to support the government\u2019s agenda for Malaysia to achieve 35 per cent skilled workers by 2020. It is the first quick-service restaurant operator to be awarded the SLDN accreditation by the Department of Skills Development (DSD) of the Ministry of Human Resources.<\/p>\n
Currently, there are five SLDN-approved McDonald\u2019s practical training locations. These are:<\/p>\n
1. McDonald\u2019s Kota Damansara restaurant<\/p>\n
2. McDonald\u2019s NKVE restaurant<\/p>\n
3. McDonald\u2019s Damansara Damai restaurant<\/p>\n
4. McDonald\u2019s TTDI restaurant<\/p>\n
5. McDonald\u2019s Bandar Sri Damansara restaurant<\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s Training Centre at Menara TH, Petaling Jaya, is the SLDN-approved classroom training centre.<\/p>\n
By the end of the year, a total of 100 McDonald\u2019s restaurants will be certified as practical training locations, involving approximately 1,000 apprentices. The restaurants are located in the Klang Valley, Johor Bahru and Penang.<\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s Malaysia Managing Director and Local Operating Partner, Azmir Jaafar, said McDonald\u2019s participation in the SLDN and the recognition that comes with it will elevate the standards of the company\u2019s human capital development initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cMcDonald\u2019s Malaysia has consistently been seeking ways to improve the competency level of its employees as part of our commitment to produce a diverse team of well-trained employees<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that our human capital development initiatives are in line with the national human resource agenda which we strongly support. We hope the McDonald\u2019s SLDN apprentice programme will in a way become a catalyst in helping the country achieve human resource efficiency to accelerate economic growth as aspired under the 11th Malaysia Plan,\u201d he said at the McDonald\u2019s SLDN launch ceremony which was officiated by Human Resources Minister, Datuk Seri Richard Riot Anak Jaem.<\/p>\n
At the ceremony, managers representing the six McDonald\u2019s training locations received the SLDN recognition certificates from the Minister. Dato\u2019 Sri Richard Riot also handed over recognition certificates to five McDonald\u2019s industry experts who are involved in the SLDN programme.\u00a0 The industry experts are recognised and certified based on their years of working experience and contribution towards the company.<\/p>\n
Azmir said McDonald\u2019s is committed to bringing out the best of its potential employees. Not only participation in SLDN is a career progression for employees but it is also great corporate social responsibility initiative for the company. \u201cBesides benefitting from full sponsorship of the training programme, each apprentice is given a monthly living allowance of RM1,200, medical and insurance benefits, as well as free meals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will help them to focus on learning and acquiring the required skills instead of having to worry over their daily financial needs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Azmir said McDonald\u2019s is looking forward to exciting times ahead. \u201cWe have a growth plan that not only reflect the well-being of our business but will eventually lead to the elevation of the economic status of many Malaysians.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy 2025, we target to have 450 restaurants and create another 10,000 jobs to the current workforce of 12,000,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The SLDN is an industry-oriented training programme that combines workplace and institutional training. During the 18-month training period, the McDonald\u2019s apprentices are expected to receive 70 – 80 per cent practical training in the restaurant and 30 – 20 per cent theoretical lessons conducted in classrooms.<\/p>\n
As soon as they pass the assessment and final test, which will be conducted at the end of the training programme, they will be awarded the Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) Level 2 and Level 3 by the Department of Skills Development (DSD). This certificate qualifies them for employment at McDonald\u2019s restaurant and for them to continue to progress in their career.<\/p>\n
