The CSL Group has been named one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People for the fifth year in a row by Mediacorp.
Early-career professionals represent approximately 10 per cent of CSL’s workforce. The Montreal-based marine transportation company supports young workers through paid internships, co-op placements, summer jobs and a cadet sponsorship program for future seafarers.
