Waterloo is home to a future-proof talent pipeline
For three straight years, CBRE – the real estate giant – has highlighted Waterloo as the highest quality tech talent market in Canada. We also have extremely high 3+ year employment retention rates. Waterloo is the fastest-growing tech talent market in North America and part of the Toronto-Waterloo Corridor, a global tech superpower that is home to 9,700+ tech companies and nearly 300,000+ tech workers.
Waterloo isn’t just a tech hub, though. We have incredibly deep talent pools in research and development, advanced manufacturing, business and finance.
Work-ready talent from three post-secondary institutions
Waterloo is home to three post-secondary institutions: the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College. Together, these schools produce top talent in computer science, engineering, business, finance and manufacturing. Many of their programs offer co-operative education, which ensures that students graduate with as much as two years of on-the job experience.
