Canada's Top 100 Employers 2017 Logo
This year the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ has joined the ranks of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, an annual country-wide ranking of organizations and business. The competition is designed to determine which employers lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces for their employees, using 8 specific criteria. ÌýThe University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ was cited for its pensions and benefit offerings, retirement preparation programs, and vacation allotment for employees. Onsite amenities were also highlighted, which include a quiet room for meditation and religious observance, a cafeteria with healthy and special diet menus, as well as a fully-equipped fitness facility.

The University has almost 5000 full time staff in Canada, and Peace and Conflict Studies graduates take up their fair share of those positions, in a number of different capacities. PACS graduates hold positions in: Centre for Peace Advancement, Conrad Grebel University, Economics Department, Peace and Conflict Studies Department, Psychology Department, Registrars Office, St. Jerome’s Residence and Campus Ministry, and UW Housing. Jobs within UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ are highly competitive, with hundreds of applicants applying to each job opening. ÌýPACS students are proving that, even in an organization ranked #1 in Canada for computer science and engineering, an arts-based education truly does hold merit.
