Chosen as one of Best Employers for New Canadians for 2012:
By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors  ( Mar 13, 2012)

Some of the reasons why Loblaw Companies Limited was selected as one of Best Employers for New Canadians 2012:
  • in partnership with the University of Toronto, offers international pharmacy students internships for a period of four mouths while they complete their courses -- once students are fully licensed, they are offered permanent positions
  • works with Access Employment and Career Bridge to match the resumes of new Canadian job-seekers to vacancies within the organization
  • in partnership with the Immigration Settlement and Integration Services (ISIS), prepared an "English in the workplace" video for job-seekers who are new to Canada
  • also works with ISIS and Microskills to match vacancies with resumes of new Canadian job-seekers
"Loblaw's partnership with Career Edge Organization became a ray of hope for me after months of struggle to find work. I was hired by Loblaw in 2010 because of my past work experience and education. Since then I have grown and have enjoyed this journey with Loblaw. As an organization Loblaw celebrates and truly appreciates diversity and I am proud to be a part of this celebration."
— Sumaira S., HR Specialist
