McDonald's Korea to Launch 2025 "Working Holiday" Program in Taiwan

Combining Workation Benefits with Global Competency Building
Actively Supporting Employees’ Independent Growth

McDonald's Korea announced on October 28 that it will run an eight-week "Working Holiday" program in Taiwan for restaurant managers, starting from October 30 until the end of December.

The Working Holiday is McDonald's unique employee development program, designed to allow store staff to work in a new environment and directly experience various systems and cultures. Going beyond a simple work experience, the program combines the advantages of a "workation"-enjoying both work and leisure-and helps participants build global work competencies, earning positive feedback each year.

This year's program selected a total of four managers as participants, following an application and interview process held from late July to late August. After the kickoff ceremony on September 22, the participants will officially begin working at McDonald's locations in the Taipei area of Taiwan starting October 30. The company will cover round-trip airfare, accommodation, traveler’s insurance, and part of the housing and living expenses.

A representative from McDonald's Korea stated, "McDonald's supports each employee's independent growth through various programs, including the Working Holiday. This year's Taiwan Working Holiday program is particularly meaningful because participants will take the lead in everything from choosing accommodations to planning the program schedule. We believe this will be an opportunity for them to broaden their perspectives on a global stage and strengthen their expertise and leadership skills."
