SYRACUSE — The Wolak Group designed its new career-development center to “provide a pathway to success” for all present and future employees at its Dunkin’ Donuts franchise restaurants in Central New York. That’s according to Ed Wolak, CEO of the Wolak Group, who spoke as his company formally opened the center on June 29.
“I am proud that the Wolak Group Career Development Center has come to fruition and will educate the next generation of managers. We are committed to ensure that every current or future associate can enjoy a successful and rewarding career that will provide them with the tools to achieve their aspirations,” he said.
The Wolak Group, headquartered in Falmouth, Maine, is an independent franchisee network that owns and operates more than 95 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in Central New York, Maine, and New Hampshire.
The 2,000-square-foot career-development center will train employees for work at Wolak’s Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in Central New York.
The center is located next to the Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant at 2851 Erie Boulevard East in Syracuse.
When asked by CNYBJ how much it cost to create the career development center, the company replied: “It was a significant financial commitment by the Wolak Group. However, the [return on investment] will be several hundred times the cost.”
The company also noted that the space wasn’t originally built as a career-development center but was “significantly” modified for the center.
The center also serves as an education and mentorship center where current and prospective Dunkin’ Donuts franchised employees of the Wolak Group can pursue career opportunities within the organization.
The Wolak Group has a designated department that currently has five employees to handle the training, the company said. It plans to add one more employee to the department “in the near future and more as [it continues] to grow the network,” it added.
Kimberly Wolak, COO of the Wolak Group, called the Syracuse–based training facility “one of the first of its kind in this region.”
“The multi-week, management and leadership-training programs will enhance recruitment, training, development, and philanthropic efforts to ensure that the Wolak Group is looked upon as the employer of choice in this industry in this region,” she said in her remarks at the formal-opening event.
The Wolak Group employs nearly 2,000 Dunkin’ Donuts franchised workers across Central New York and throughout the Northeast.
