Trainee schemes created at West Bromwich McDonald's

A total of 21 apprenticeships have been created at a West Bromwich fast food restaurant which is undergoing a £200,000 revamp.

Franchisee Paul Ramsey is investing the cash in a refurbishment of the McDonald's branch on West Bromwich High Street.

And Mr Ramsey has today congratulated the first 21 employees in the town to have gained an apprenticeship as part of a company scheme launched in 2009.

The apprenticeship is equivalent to five GCSEs.
