Genetec has been named one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People by MediaCorp Canada for the second year in a row.

“Grow, innovate and thrive”

The Top Employers for Young People designation is said to recognise organisations that are providing exceptional workplace environments and programs that cater to young professionals.

Companies are evaluated on their ability to attract and retain young talent, mentorship and training opportunities as well as the percentage of young professionals in the organisation.

“With a significant portion of our workforce under 30, this award reflects our ongoing commitment to cultivating a workplace where young professionals can grow, innovate and thrive,” said Richard Pailliere, Vice President of Human Resources, Genetec Inc.

“By providing meaningful opportunities, robust training, and a strong sense of community, we aim to empower the next generation of talent to reach their full potential.”

Strategic initiatives

Genetec was recognised for its approach to talent development, including initiatives such as:

  • Innovative Training Programs: The company’s Office of Innovation and Strategic Technologies (OIST) provides employees with unique, in-house learning experiences
  • Apprenticeship Program: Launched in 2022, this program helps candidates without traditional qualifications gain technical skills through immersive, hands-on training
  • A place where interns thrive: In 2024, Genetec welcomed nearly 400 paid interns, offering full-time hours, impactful projects and the same benefits as permanent employees
  • Women in Engineering Program: Genetec is dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace. In partnership with Concordia University, the Women and Engineering program pairs female interns with experienced female mentors from Genetec for weekly one-on-one meetings to discuss objectives, address concerns and navigate the workplace
