For the seventh consecutive year, Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ)  has been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers in a national competition organized by Mediacorp Canada Inc. and published in The Globe and Mail.

The annual competition recognizes Canadian employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces.

“This recognition is important for the Cameco team,” said Cameco president and CEO Tim Gitzel. “We know that it’s a designation that potential employees take seriously and we are proud of the accomplishment.”

This year 85,000 organizations and companies were considered, with approximately 8,000 invited to submit detailed applications outlining their human resource practices and programs. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.

“We work to energize the world, supplying the fuel to produce clean-air nuclear power,” said Gitzel. “We see the same energy and enthusiasm in our employees, and that makes Cameco a great place to work and build a career.”
