Coca-Cola, L'Oréal and Accenture are among the top employers in Canada for young people, according to the annual list of Mediacorp Canada Inc. Every year, companies are evaluated on the basis of their programmes for attracting and retaining younger employees. The programmes include several benefits like work-study programmes, training programmes, tuition assistance and mentorship.

The evaluation started in 2002. The competition is organised by Canada's Top 100 Employers editors, whereas Jobpostings Magazine remain their exclusive newspaper ally. Any employee can apply to be a part of this competition.

Any company which has its head office in Canada or does the major part of its business in the country is eligible. Applications can be requested through their Web site. Companies can also join the annual conference which allows them to learn the latest methods applied by winning companies. They can also get inspired through motivational stories from the speakers at the summit.

The next list, which will be for 2014, will be announced in the mid of the next year. Here is the complete list of winners:
