Employer Champion Award
The call for nominations is now an open process, which means that nominations can be submitted at any point throughout the year. Given the important partnership that Passport to Prosperity has with educators I wanted you to be aware of the awards and to encourage you to think of outstanding examples that could be put forward.
The Employer Champion Awards are one important way that we can recognize employers across Ontario that make outstanding contributions within their communities by opening their doors to local high school students, and your taking the time to nominate an employer demonstrates how much you value their continued partnership.
