For the fourth time in four years, Concordia has been named a top Montreal employer.
The university made the list based on a number of criteria, including pension and benefits, training and development opportunities and the physical and social aspects of the workplaces.
Concordia was evaluated by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, who organize the national and citywide competitions.
Positive and motivating environment
This year’s Top Employers feature describes Concordia as a “future-ready city within the city,” where people embrace change.
The dynamic, open-minded and innovative environment is one of the things that impresses Nadia Bhuiyan, vice-provost of Partnerships and Experiential Learning, about the university.
“Any time I come up with a new idea, the response is, ‘Sure, test it out, try it out,’” she says. “It’s a very positive and motivating environment.”
Concordians are geared to developing ways to bring knowledge and ideas to life and to connect to the community.
One of the projects that perfectly showcases this imagination is 4TH SPACE. Designed to connect people with knowledge creation, it is part living lab, science centre, design showroom, exhibition space and theatre set.
