Employer Testimonials

Barry Burton
Vice-President Enterprise Sales
Bell Canada

"I'm a very strong supporter of the Career Edge Programs. At Bell Canada we've seen a continuous growth year over year. In 2006 we employed 91 interns which was about a 55% increase over 2004; you don't get that kind of participation without delivering the desired benefits and results. It has given us a terrific talent pool from which to attract full-time resources."

Teri Currie
Executive Vice-President, Human Resources
TD Bank Financial Group

"TD Bank Financial Group has been a proud supporter of the Career Edge programs for over 10 years. We've had tremendous success with our interns from these programs; they have the experience and the talent to add value. We want our employees to be representative of the communities in which we do business, and we want to access talented employees from as broad a pool of candidates as possible. Career Edge helps us achieve that goal."

Christianne Paris
Vice President, RBC Recruitment and Learning
RBC Financial Group

"Having programs like Career Bridge gives new Canadians a smooth integration into the labour market, while Ability Edge helps to break down stereotypes. The Career Edge value lies in bringing individuals into corporate settings and helping them settle in; this assures the employee’s success."

Career Bridge Program Alumnus

"Career Bridge enabled me to access a job market that understands the dilemma of foreign trained professionals. I was able to apply for an internship in the field in which I have qualifications, and experience in, thereby kick starting my career. This program takes the frustration out of every new Canadian's job search experience, and gives one a chance to showcase their experience and skills in their field of training and experience."
