Top Employers D.C.
When you think about Washington, D.C., the first thing that probably comes to mind is politics, but the DC area offers so much more. The District of Columbia is officially home to 4.8 million people with a median household income of $93,200 and 48 percent of the population having attained a college education. The city is also home to all three branches of the U.S. federal government as well as 176 foreign embassies.

Yes, the federal government is the area’s largest employer, but the public school systems in D.C. hire the most number of people.

There are plenty of options. It all depends on what you’re looking for. We’ve outlined a list of the top employers DC has to offer based on size, reputation, benefits and more. Continue reading…
3 Rotman Grads Named Canada’s Most Powerful Women
If there’s one thing that everyone can agree on, it’s that women are necessary for business. In fact, companies with a female on the board of directors, on average, have a 53 percent higher return on equity. The issue is that though women represent 47% percent of the workforce, they only represent 17 percent of boardrooms, and 4.8 percent of CEOs among the Fortune 500 companies, according to the Forté Foundation.
That’s why University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management has made it a priority to promote women in business. And their efforts have recently been rewarded with both a Rotman professor and two alumni named to the Women’s Executive Network (WXN) list of Canada’s Most Powerful Women for 2016. The list featured 100 women in total, including several graduates of the Rotman School’s Judy Project and Executive Programs. Continue reading…
