TORONTO, Jan. 24,
2024 /CNW/ - Scotiabank is pleased to be named as one
of Canada's Top Employers for
Young People 2024 by Mediacorp Canada Inc. for the fourth
consecutive year. The award recognizes organizations in
Canada that are leaders in
attracting and retaining younger employees through programs
tailored to those who are just starting their careers.
To provide young people the skills they need to develop and
thrive in the workplace, Scotiabank offers comprehensive learning
through the Talent Incubators for Leaders of Tomorrow (TILT)
program. TILT provides high-performing new graduates
coach-supported learning and development opportunities through
workshops, courses, executive masterclasses, and mentoring sessions
in several business lines and corporate functions across the
Bank.
One of the TILT programs available is Expedition, an 18-month
Women in Leadership Development Program for graduates from a
Master's degree program who want to pursue a career in banking.
Expedition provides strategic rotations in various business lines,
with tailored learning curriculums to support career growth and
development. Since launching in 2021, over 1,000 graduates have
participated in TILT programs, with more than 200 young people
completing the programs last year.
"At Scotiabank, we strive to create a culture where everyone can
belong and thrive while feeling welcome and represented in our
workplace," said Jenny Poulos, Chief
Human Resources Officer. "As part of Scotiabank's strategy and
vision, we are hyper focused on continuing to build our talent and
culture to win as one team. The next generation of talent has so
much to offer, and we are looking at how we invest in new and
existing talent while continuing to nurture an environment of
belonging."
In addition to investing in the development of new talent at the
Bank, Scotiabank is evolving its hiring practices for on-campus
recruits. To reduce biases during the hiring process, the Bank has
removed the resume requirement from co-op, internship, and new
graduate program applications to focus on skills instead of
experience. This new approach has led to a more diverse and
inclusive recent grad workforce, with an increase in the number of
individuals who identify as part of equity deserving groups hired
across the organization.
