Congratulations to the Winners!
HRPA proudly hosted its sixth annual Student Case Competition on March 14 and 22, 2025, our most expansive yet. A record-breaking 25 post-secondary institutions from across Ontario participated in this dynamic virtual event, reflecting the growing interest and value of this experiential learning opportunity.
On Day 1, student teams submitted recorded case presentations for evaluation by a panel of senior HR professionals. The top three teams—Niagara College, King’s University, and Durham College—were selected to advance to Day 2, where they delivered live presentations in front of the judging panel.
Day 2 also featured a compelling keynote session with Christian Saab, President of CPG Recruitment Inc., who presented “Incorporating AI in Recruitment Initiatives.” His session explored how AI is transforming recruitment processes by increasing efficiency, reducing bias, and enhancing the candidate experience—offering students valuable insights into the evolving future of HR.
Following the keynote, participants engaged in a virtual networking lunch, connecting with HR professionals including Lisa V Macdonald, CHRL (Inclusion Specialist, KEYS/Saint Lawrence College) and Chiara Ansell-Brawley, CHRL (Manager, Labour Relations and Recruitment, Brightshores Health System). Uber Eats vouchers were provided to support the virtual experience.
The event concluded with an exciting awards ceremony. Congratulations to our 2025 winners:
1st Place – Niagara College (represented by Ella Leo, Ngoc Chau Anh Dao, Stacey Reist, Aiden Van Hooydonk)
2nd Place – King’s University (represented by Ainsley Roberts, Nicola Borowski, Aisha Williams, Vanessa Phou Lee)
3rd Place – Durham College (represented by Lara Katrina Alcover, Lina Cardenas Marin, Monique Mcdonald)
