Human Resources / 2019 / February / 06 / UBC recognized as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People in 2019

UBC recognized as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People in 2019

By Jacquelyn Ivans on February 6, 2019

 

UBC has been recognized as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People in 2019,  the only Canadian post-secondary institution to receive this designation. This special designation recognizes the employers that offer the nation’s best workplaces and programs for young people starting their careers.

This is the seventh consecutive year that UBC has received this award. Some of the services that UBC offers to support young employees:

  • Informal networking initiatives that provide staff opportunities to meet senior leaders, such as the Hot Lunch series at the Vancouver campus and the Pit Stop series at the Okanagan campus
  • In-house apprenticeship and skilled trades training programs
  • A Postdoctoral Fellows Office, which acts as a resource centre to help postdocs expand their professional skills; and
  • A variety of in-house learning and development programs, including the award winning Coaching@UBC program, career and personal development workshops , and an academic leadership development program for faculty.

Young employees and employees who are new to the workplace can take part in many UBC programs and initiatives to help welcome them to the community and grow in their careers.

UBC employees can access career navigation services, professional development funding and tuition waivers. As part of the university community, faculty and staff are encouraged to take part in workplace wellbeing initiatives, and access the athletics and recreation facilities at our Vancouver and Okanagan campuses as well as UBC’s many attractions.
