Teck recognized as one of Canada’s top employers for young people

Local mining giant Teck has been recognized a top employer for young people.

The Canada’s Top Employer Project has named Teck in its list of 2023 Canada’s Top 100 Employers for Youth People list.

Teck qualified for the distinction partly because of its ongoing employee development program which offers full tuition subsidies for courses at outside institutions, access to child care services and more.
