Government of Canada, Google and Provincial Government Rank in the Top Five Among Undergraduate Students in Canada Within All Fields of Study
Based on more than 22,859 employer evaluations, reflecting the opinions of approximately 9,956 undergraduate students, Universum – Americas presents the 2010 Canada Top Ideal Employers.
Philadelphia, PA, June 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Universum – Americas, announced today the results of its annual employer image survey, also known as IDEALTM Employer Survey. With the Government/public service industry showing up in the top three preferred industries among all fields of study (Business/Communication/Law, Engineering/IT/Natural Sciences, Liberal Arts/Fine Arts/Education/Social Sciences and Health/Medicine), it is only appropriate that the top ranked companies follow suit.
Based on the frequency of being selected as an IDEALTM employer, Universum produces an IDEALTM employer ranking, dubbed the Universum Top 100. The rankings reflect the level of employer attractiveness that companies or organizations have on the recruitment market, and consequently the strength of their employer brands.
“Since Canadian student career goals of job stability and serving society’s greater good were of high importance this year, it’s no surprise that they are choosing the Government of Canada as a top employer," said Tracy Lynn Drye, Senior Vice President of Employer Branding at Universum. "We have actually seen this as a global trend. Undergraduate students around the world have expressed interest in beginning their career with the government, starting even prior to economic challenges facing many markets."
The first 10 IDEALTM Employers, segmented by their main field of study are:
Business/Communication/Law: 1. Government of Canada, 2. Apple, 3. Google, 4. Bank of Canada, 5. Provincial Government, 6. Deloitte, 7. L'Oréal, 8. Air Canada,9. Canada Revenue Agency, 10. KPMG
