Durham College named one of GTA's Top Employers

Durham College (DC) is being recognized as a great place to work having been named one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for 2015 for the fifth year running.

The college is proud to be recognized in several areas of full-time employee support including providing continued skills development through a variety of in-house and online training programs and tuition subsidies for courses taken at external institutions; investing in the education of our people and their children with substantial tuition reimbursements; helping employees save for retirement with generous contributions to a defined benefit pension plan; and supporting young families through offering exceptional maternity and parental leave top-up payments.

This recognition also acknowledges our Sustainability Committee for promoting awareness and understanding, and practicing environmental, social and economic responsibility.

“Durham College is proud to be named one of Greater Toronto’s top employers for the fifth year in a row,” said Scott Blakey, vice-president, Administration. “This honour reflects our commitment to retaining exceptional, talented people who contribute towards creating a family-like culture at DC. Our faculty and staff are the best and brightest, and fully support our mission that the student experience comes first. Being recognized by Mediacorp Canada/Canada’s Top 100 Employers for providing employees with the opportunities, resources and benefits they need to be successful demonstrates our strong commitment and dedication to our faculty and staff.”

Greater Toronto’s Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the greater Toronto area employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. Organizations are judged on several categories including physical workplace; work and social atmosphere; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
