What are the specific conditions under which a Management Recruiters franchisee might be required to participate in additional training programs or attend conferences (Item 11), and what are the associated costs?
Management_Recruiters Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
You and/or your General Manager are required to attend and complete to MRI's satisfaction our New Office Training Program to MRI's satisfaction. The additional program(s) you are required to attend may vary, based on MRI's sole discretion given your experience, tenure, skillsets, etc. for your benefit.
Corporate sponsored workshops, meetings and events, such as the international Annual Owners' Meeting, which is a mandatory event, CPP Programs (a role based MRINetwork skill certification designation achieved via study and testing) and Pacesetter (a rewards program) have registration fees associated with them, plus the participant's travel and expenses. Registration fees vary depending on the venue and the length of the program but are reasonably related to our costs of presenting the programs. Registration fees will vary depending on the costs to MRI but have typically ranged between $500 and $900 per attendee, not including the cost of travel, room, and board, for which you are responsible.
In some instances, we pass on actual cost for materials and/or licensing for external content, which will vary depending on the materials. Participants are informed of charge clearly and prior to enrolling in any training program.
What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Management Recruiters' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at the Annual Owners' Meeting is mandatory for franchisees. The registration fees for this meeting typically range from $500 to $900 per attendee, but this does not include the costs associated with travel, room, and board, which the franchisee is responsible for.
Management Recruiters may also require franchisees and/or their General Managers to attend and complete the New Office Training Program to their satisfaction. The specific additional training programs a franchisee is required to attend can vary based on Management Recruiters' discretion, considering the franchisee's experience, tenure, and skill sets.
Management Recruiters also offers optional training programs and corporate-sponsored workshops, meetings, and events such as CPP (Certified Professional Programs) and Pacesetter. While attendance at these is not mandatory, they do have registration fees, and the franchisee is responsible for travel and other expenses. In some instances, Management Recruiters may pass on the actual cost for materials and/or licensing for external content, and participants will be informed of these charges before enrolling in any training program.
