McDonald&rsquo;s saw a 238 percent increase in the second year of its Archways to Opportunity program.

The education program provides eligible U.S. employees at participating restaurants an opportunity to earn a high school diploma, receive college tuition assistance and more. The program saw about 5,000 employees enroll in its first year.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Given our scale, McDonald&rsquo;s and our independent franchisees believe we have a responsibility to advance the next generation of workers and give back to the communities in which they live and work,&rdquo; said Rob Lauber, Global Chief Learning Officer. &ldquo;Restaurant employees have told us they are looking for an opportunity to build new skills and receive an education. It&rsquo;s wonderful to see Archways to Opportunity participation double over the course of a year as it illustrates that the program is making a difference for our people.&rdquo;
