Many companies provide their employees with training that not only helps them do their job better but may also count toward a college degree.
McDonald’s and The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) are engaged in a pilot project to see how learning and development advising and the use of CAEL’s Learningcounts.org program to assess prior learning for college credit can help McDonald’s employees achieve their college degrees more quickly and at less cost. Kevin Clark, Education Program Lead for Hamburger University, and Dorothy Wax, Senior Director of Career Services and Human Resources at CAEL, will discuss the program and the anticipated outcomes.
