McDonalds of the Texarkana area and Texarkana College are teaming to encourage good grades.

Area McDonald’s restaurants are turning to Texarkana College to help build their skilled workforce. On Wednesday, May 14, 2014, at 9 a.m., Texarkana College and McDonald’s officials will hold a press conference to unveil the Pay for Grades partnership, an initiative to attract quality manager trainees by offering incentives for employees who earn college credits at Texarkana College. The press conference will be held in the Truman Arnold Student Center Lobby on the Texarkana College Campus, 2500 N. Robison Road, Texarkana, Texas. The public is welcome to attend.

 “We know that Texarkana College students work hard and are committed to building a better future for themselves and for their families,” said Jason Sadowski, owner and operator of Texamac, Inc., the management company for area McDonald’s restaurants. “We want to invest in this type of employee and help grow their opportunities to earn more and become eligible for our outstanding benefits package.”
The exclusive partnership between Texarkana College and McDonald’s allows students to earn a bonus of $25 per credit hour completed with a grade of C or better while working at least two shifts per week at an area McDonald’s restaurant managed by Texamac, Inc.  Employees will be eligible to earn the cash bonus once they have been employed by McDonald’s for at least 45 days and have a transcript showing successful completion of classes at Texarkana College.
“Full-time TC students could earn a cash bonus of up to $300 each semester with the Pay for Grades program,” Sadowski said. “McDonald’s allows students to work flexible hours and gives opportunities for rapid advancement. In addition, the manager trainee program provides employees with world-class training, which can lead to a rewarding and satisfying career. We are excited to launch this initiative and look forward to rewarding our employees for investing in their future through higher education.”
