The top-100 list of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People has been unveiled for 2017 by Mediacorp Canada.

The winning organizations lead the nation in attracting and retaining millennial workers.

"Making your organization a good place for young people to start their careers is about more than simply appearing trendy or hip," said Kristina Leung, senior editor at Mediacorp. "It shows all your employees and customers that you are open to change. Employers that understand the needs of their youngest workers have more success in adapting their business models to respond to changing technologies and consumer preferences."

Winners of the competition are chosen on the basis of the programs and initiatives they have to attract and retain younger workers, including benefits such as tuition assistance and the availability of co-op or work-study programs.

Mentorship and training programs are also examined, as is the average age of employees.
