When you think of the world's most exclusive universities, what comes to
mind? Harvard? Yale? Oxford? Well, it's time to add another to the list
- Hamburger University, McDonald's Chinese training center based outside
of Shanghai. And when it comes to selective admission, the old Cantabs
have got nothing on Hamburger U.
Bloomberg reports that in China management-track jobs at the Golden
Arches (a prerequisite to attend the school) are incredibly competitive.
The article sites the example of Zhou Xiaobu, who in 2007 was one of
1,000 applicants vying for eight management trainee positions in
Changsha, a city in Hunan Province - that's an acceptance rate of less
than 1 percent, lower than Harvard's 2010 record low 7 percent
admissions rate. And to attend a five-day course at Hamburger
University, Zhou had to compete again, this time against 43 other
applicants at her store. "I'm thrilled and proud to attend Hamburger
University," said Zhou, whose 10,000 yuan ($1518) tuition was paid for
by the chain.
Read about the history of some of America's favorite fast food chains.
So why the fierce competition to attend the fast food academy? In July
of last year, the Chinese Ministry of Education reported that 26 percent
of the nation's college graduates were unemployed. With such a job
market, the McDonald's program "offers many career opportunities," Sun
Ying, a graduate of East China Normal University and a recently promoted
store manager told Bloomberg.
And with McDonald's seeking to double its presence in China to 2000
stores by 2013, the number of Mickey Ds jobs is set to increase
substantially. "China has been the fastest growing market for McDonald's
worldwide with regard to new restaurant opening," its China chief
executive Kenneth Chan told Reuters in December. "It took us almost 19
years to reach 1,000 restaurants. We will get our next 1,000 restaurants
within three years."
For now though, McDonalds faces stiff competition from a fierce rival -
in China KFC, which supplements its American menu with Chinese dishes
like congee and spicy tofu chicken rice, is the hands-down favorite,
with 3200 stores around the nation.
