Top 25 Employers in the National Capital Region… Once again…

national-capital-2015On February 5th, Algonquin College was proud to be named one of the National Capital Region’s Top 25 Employers for 2015 for a second consecutive year. This great achievement would not have been possible without the collective contribution of all our amazing employees; it is a demonstration of the progress we have made as an institution to empower our entire College community to succeed.

Some of the reasons that Algonquin College was selected a Top Employer in Ottawa include:

  • Partial tuition reimbursement for completion of bachelors, masters, and doctorate programs
  • Algonquin College course discount for employees, and discount on full-time programs for family members
  • Access to President and executives via Town Halls; President’s website, newsletter, and X account; New Employee Breakfast; annual Breakfast and BBQ Meetings; and monthly Coffee Break gatherings
  • Strong benefits including Employee Assistance Provider, provisions for faculty sabbaticals, and more
  • Annual Employee Awards and President’s Star Awards to recognize outstanding employees
  • Great office environment with nine on-site food outlets
