McDonald&rsquo;s announced Wednesday that <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/24/business/mcdonalds-aarp-hiring/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=a-partnership-for-the-ages-mcdonalds-and-aarp-team-up-to-provide-employment-opportunities-for-older-individuals-2709788" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">the company is partnering with AARP</a> to tap into a new employee demographic. As a means to attract workers capable of working breakfast and lunch shifts, McDonald&rsquo;s has posted positions with <a href="https://www.aarp.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=a-partnership-for-the-ages-mcdonalds-and-aarp-team-up-to-provide-employment-opportunities-for-older-individuals-2709788" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">AARP&rsquo;s website</a>.

The partnership works through AARP matching particular candidates through its Senior Community Service Employment Program, aiding low-income, unemployed individuals above the age of 55 find work and through Back to Work 50+ program, helping experienced, older job seekers land a position. 

While younger demographics have typically gravitated to McDonald&rsquo;s as an accessible and flexible job, it is a sect of people who often cannot work mornings and early afternoons due to school or other commitments. 

CNN Business stated, &ldquo;With the labor market so tight, fast food chains have been getting creative in their attempts to attract workers. Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/04/business/taco-bell-hiring-parties/index.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=a-partnership-for-the-ages-mcdonalds-and-aarp-team-up-to-provide-employment-opportunities-for-older-individuals-2709788" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Taco Bell announced that it would host nearly 600 &quot;hiring parties&quot;</a> with free food, swag and Instagram-friendly photo props to help fill thousands of open jobs.&rdquo;

McDonald&rsquo;s, like its fast-food competitors, is interested in higher older workers both for their experience and as a boost to the company&rsquo;s diversity, according to McDonald&rsquo;s U.S. Chief People Officer, Melissa Kersey.

The company seeks to fill 250,000 jobs and has planned the partnership rollout for summer 2019.
