RBC, Toyota and Loblaw among winners of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People

by Todd Humber

The winners of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People were announced this morning, highlighting organizations that are helping recent graduates navigate the challenges of starting their careers. The annual list, curated by Mediacorp Canada, recognizes companies offering tailored programs and initiatives to attract and retain younger workers.

This year’s winners — which include the likes of Air Canada, PCL Construction, and Toyota (full list of 100 companies below) — have embraced strategies like rotational programs, which allow new employees to explore different roles within the organization. These initiatives help recent graduates develop a better understanding of the business while finding a career path that aligns with their skills and interests.

“Young people entering the workforce for the first time have a curiosity to explore different roles, so they can find what best aligns with their interests and career goals,” said Chantel Watkins, assistant editor at Mediacorp.

The effects of the pandemic on early-career professionals also shaped this year’s competition. Many employers have prioritized soft skills training to help younger workers bridge the gap in interpersonal and communication skills.

“Employers rarely hire recent grads for specific roles — they’re hiring someone who will hopefully build a long-term career at the company,” said Kristina Leung, managing editor at Mediacorp.

Now in its 23rd year, the editorial competition evaluates organizations based on their HR practices, including mentorship programs, co-op placements, and tuition assistance. Mediacorp’s editors also assess career management programs that enable young workers to advance more quickly within their organizations.
