Communication Challenge (for ages 14-19)
Students are taken on a virtual ‘ready for work’ shift, where work-based communication activities are set by McDonald’s employees. Students will tackle the tasks in teams using the experiences and skills shared by the employees for inspiration. The challenges will culminate in the creation of a 60-second ‘elevator pitch’ giving students the chance to show why they are ready for work.
Packed full of guides, student activities, videos and student certificates, you will have everything you need to deliver the perfect skills development lesson.
