Recipients will also have an opportunity to engage in a paid developmental work term with Hydro One. Application deadline: October 2.

Following the application deadline, applications will be reviewed by Hydro One’s Community Investment Department and Diversity Manager in conjunction with Hydro One’s People & Culture Recruitment group. The top candidates will be short-listed for an interview and ranked according to their interview scores.
