Here are some of the reasons why G&G Advertising was selected as one of Canada's Top Employers for Young People (2023):
- Giants & Gentlemen Advertising manages a paid full-time "Genternship" program for recent graduates who are interested in advertising and gaining experience in a creative agency -- the three-month program consists of an onboarding phase, understanding and learning how to work on advertising briefs, Buddy Up (shadowing a more senior Gent and completing a client and agency project) and the final "You Got This" phase
- In the final "You Got This" component of the Genternship program, interns put their skills to work by creating an initiative for the agency, in addition to creating an initiative for a client (each with a $500 budget), helping manage several projects, and participating in a formal meeting to review their time with the company (with constructive feedback and guidance towards their future careers)
- Giants & Gentlemen Advertising has partnered with the Miami Ad School Toronto to create the "Agency Lab" extended classroom, where four students each quarter can gain hands-on work experience by taking on work projects with the organization to help fill their course requirements
