Employer of the Year

What is the ECS Employer of the Year?

The ECS Employer of the Year award is an annual accolade bestowed upon a company whose selection is based on student nominations and engagement with ECS (job postings, hires, on-campus involvement, etc.).

Consider a nomination

ECS knows that some companies go above and beyond to provide their co-ops and interns a stellar experience during the work term. If you had a fantastic engineering co-op or internship experience, consider nominating that company for the ECS Employer of the Year.

How to nominate

  • Did you report the job in Handshake?  Reporting is required for the nomination to be considered.
  • What did you like about this company's recruiting strategy? How did they engage with you to make you want to accept an offer?
  • Did they have an orientation program? What did it entail and what did you like about it?
