Professional growth

The world of international business is fast, competitive and constantly changing. To help Canadian companies, we need to keep our knowledge and skills ahead of the curve. That’s why we invest in your learning—whether you want to attend a conference, boost your language skills or further your education. And with so many different departments, teams and roles within EDC, your career path can lead almost anywhere. We’re proud to consistently rank among the top learning and development organizations in North America.

An inclusive culture

As a workplace, EDC reflects the diversity and inclusive values of Canada as well as the vast range of traditions, experiences and human traits that make up the wider world. We earned recognition as one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for providing a workplace where people feel like they belong and can bring their true selves to work.

Amazing space

We operate out of a spectacularly designed open-concept headquarters in Ottawa, built to LEED Gold standards for both construction and interior features. There are large cafés and lounges on each floor, multiple large event and meeting spaces, training rooms and telepresence rooms throughout. There’s even a fifth-floor apiary in our building with honey-producing beehives—with the proceeds from honey sales going toward our annual charitable campaign.
