Your task is to research a company from Canada’s Top 100 that would be an ideal place to work for millennials and prepare a report or slide show to present your information. Base your decision on what you’ve learned so far about millennials and their ideal workplace.
A good place to start your research is by visiting the website of “Canada’s Top 100 Employers(Opens in new window).” This is an annual ranking of the best employers in Canada. Take your time to select an organization that resonates with you. By pressing each company’s name, you will discover the reasons why this company made the top 100 list. You will make your selection based on what you learned about millennials and what they look for in a company.
To help you make your selection, take a look at the tasks and refer back to Learning Activity 2.7 in this unit. Once you have made your selection you are ready to go!
