Ignite – Implementation of workforce and integration strategies for retention of newcomers in New Brunswick

Ignite leads integrated economic development growth through diverse initiatives that create an environment for our communities and businesses to be successful. We create a climate for growth through the support of job creation, entrepreneur development, workforce attraction and community support in the Capital and Western New Brunswick Regions. Presently they are facing challenges in effectively supporting and facilitating the integration, adaptation, and retention of newcomers to the region, including immigrants, refugees, and international students. For this reason, they want to hire a Workforce & Integration Intern, who can innovate Workforce and Integration strategies which can strengthen and expand the organization’s capacity to develop targeted workforce and integration programs and activities to support newcomers. This project will help the client in retention of newcomers to the region by implementing an effective workforce integration program and ?outreach strategies.
