BioTalent Canada Launch The 2022 Catalyst Award for Top New Hire

“Feedback from Canadian biotech companies on the contribution of young workers has been overwhelmingly positive. The Catalyst Award is our way to highlight new hires, showcase their achievements and tell their stories.”

-Rob Henderson, President and CEO, BioTalent Canada

Reward an employee and get highlighted as an Employer of Choice

BioTalent Canada’s Catalyst Award is an employee recognition award, granting a $1,000 prize to the young employee who has contributed most significantly to their Canadian biotechnology in 2021. It recognizes the impacts and achievements of young employees who are wage subsidy recipients in Canada’s burgeoning bio-economy and places a spotlight on the employers that give these young minds an opportunity.

Biotechnology employers are invited to submit applications that detail how their most recent hires, through BioTalent Canada wage subsidy programs, have enhanced innovation and made substantial contributions to their companies.

Who can participate

• Employers and participants who participated in one of BioTalent Canada’s wage subsidy programs during 2020 or 2021;
