McDonald’s gave a shout out to Kashawn, our first Technology Training Program student. He was a focused, diligent worker and enjoyed learning skills that he readily shared with students in our out-of-school-time network. He also gained the skills necessary to interact effectively with others. Congrats! #mcdonalds #technologytraining #outofschooltime #congrats #chestereastside
