“The success of our students is directly tied to the quality of our industry partners,” said Cynthia Holmes, Dean of the Ted Rogers School. “The Top Co-op Employer Awards are our way of celebrating the companies that are shaping tomorrow's leaders and supporting one of our key strategic objectives: creating an inclusive and collaborative community dedicated to elevating business and society.”

“The commitment of our co-op employers to our students is exemplary, providing them with invaluable, practical experience that bridges the gap between academic theory and professional practice,” she adds. “We are grateful for their continued partnership and investment in the future of Canadian business.”

Winning employers are invited to send two representatives from their company to a complimentary Ted Rogers School Executive Education Xcelerator workshop. They also receive a digital badge recognizing their company’s achievement.
