Join us for an exclusive evening celebrating Canada’s top employers as chosen by students through the annual Brainstorm Report—the most comprehensive study of student career interests and employer brand perceptions in the country.

This event offers a unique opportunity to:

• Gain insights into what today’s students are really looking for in an employer
• Understand how your organization is perceived by the future workforce
• Explore the latest trends in student career motivators, job search behaviour, and industry preferences
• Learn how to translate student expectations into effective employer brand strategies

Highlights include a deep dive into student data by discipline (Business, Computer Science, Engineering), key findings from national rankings, and a celebration of the brands that are resonating most with Canada’s emerging talent.

Whether you're looking to enhance your recruitment strategy, build brand affinity, or better understand Gen Z talent, this event delivers the insights and takeaways you need to attract and retain top student talent.
