About the competition

Now in its 23rd year, Canada's Top Employers for Young People is an editorial competition that recognizes the employers across Canada that lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces and programs for young people starting their careers. Each year, the project's editors release detailed reasons for selection explaining why each of the winners is chosen. This provides transparency in the selection of winners and lets readers discover best practices among the nation's top employers. Any employer, private or public sector, with its head office or principal place of business in Canada may apply to the competition. For more details on this year's competition, read the press release issued on January 21, 2025.
