McDonald’s is the leader of the global retail food service industry, ranking the top 10 of the BrandZ Global Most Valuable Brands list for 13 consecutive years. 2020 saw McDonald’s ranked ninth on the list, and was the only catering service enterprise in the top ten, with a brand value of more than 129,321 million dollars.

On November 25, 2020, QVTU and Xiamen Golden Arches Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony for the cooperation between university and the enterprise of modern apprenticeship.

In November 2020, QVTU’s Business School and Xiamen Golden Arches Co., Ltd. launched a comprehensive cooperation on modern apprenticeship classes. McDonald’s launched the “Youth Unlimited” modern apprenticeship program, which set the goal for the McDonald’s apprenticeship class to enable students to become a restaurant department manager in charge of a large store before they graduate. The training program of McDonald’s Modern Apprenticeship is a combination of theoretical courses and practical operations. Through basic job learning, students can gradually switch to core management positions and develop leadership skills in marketing, human resources and financial management, so that they can master professional skills and enhance professionalism before employment.

QVTU’s Business School and McDonald’s have integrated the “modern apprenticeship” model into the modular teaching reform of professional clusters, jointly developed the course system, curriculum content and implementation plan of the “regional management” module, and formed a university-enterprise joint faculty. By combining work and learning and building a “business-oriented, real-life task-based model”, students can better grasp the theory and skills to apply their learning, prepare for employment after graduation, and embark on a sustainable career path. Since 2019, 105 students from QVTU have been employed at McDonald’s.

QVTU deserves more expectations.

McDonald’s Drive-Thru is the special name of McDonald’s. It has been nearly 50 years since the first McDonald’s Drive-Thru was established in 1975.

Drive-Thru is a new fast food service mode. Its special feature is that the driver can easily accomplish “order-checkout-pick up” without getting out of the car. The whole time is controlled within 3 minutes, which is in line with the fast pace of people’s life. In addition, with no physical contact involved, ordering is both safe and efficient, which gives people who are anxious to buy food another new choice.
