McDonald’s locations in Guelph, Fergus, and Elora aim to create a workplace where people feel valued and empowered, not only to thrive at work, but to contribute meaningfully to the communities they’re part of. Through a long-standing partnership with Starling Employment Services and McDonald’s and Antolin Enterprises Inc., we are helping young people overcome barriers to employment, offering jobs and pathways for growth. “People are happier when they feel part of a team,” says Kevin, Training & Development Supervisor. “That’s how real inclusion happens.” From structured training to communication and relationship building, team members gain employable skills, but something deeper: confidence, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
