Mississauga, ON, January 24, 2025 – For the third consecutive year, Mediacorp, the country's largest periodical publisher, has recognized BASF as one of Canada's Top Employers for Young People.

As one of Canada's leaders in attracting and retaining younger employees, BASF has been cited by Mediacorp for its unwavering commitment to creating a supportive work environment for the next generation of professionals. This includes programs and initiatives such as paid internships, a comprehensive development program for graduates featuring rotational roles, in-house career planning services, training and skills development, and mentorship programs.
