DNS named Dalhousie University Top Emerging Co-op Employer

Last night, our team at Digital Nova Scotia was honoured to receive the Dalhousie University Top Emerging Co-op Employer Award, at their annual event, hosted at the Atlantica Hotel! Surrounded by over 100 guests, our team heard stories of students excelling in roles across the country, and of employers going above and beyond to give the best workplace learning experiences possible. Among the finalists of the evening we were excited to see members CloudKettle, Modest Tree, Mars VR Labs, Grant Thornton and Dash Hudson, with Modest Tree walking away as the ICT Employer of the Year Award. At Digital Nova Scotia, we’re big fans of our co-op students. Working with students allows us to think differently, bring in new creative ideas, and work with bright students looking to get involved in our sector. Thank you to Dalhousie University, and congratulations to all the finalists and winners! Interested in hiring a student? Let us know, we'll help connect you!
