DESCRIPTION

---

Inspire NB brings education and industry together in order to help students achieve career goals as well as address communities’ workforce development needs. In order to do this, the program is fully integrated with New Brunswick’s online career development platform, Career Cruising.

Through the creation of New Brunswick company profiles and interaction with career coaches, students can:

• Receive targeted communication from employers and career coaches about opportunities that match their interests;

• Access local labour market information;

• Submit questions to real working people in many different careers and receive advice and encouragement;

• Learn about workplace training activities in their community; and,

• Link academics to local workplace opportunities.

---

RESULTS

---

Although Inspire NB is currently in the pilot stage, students in the participating Anglophone and Francophone districts have been able to

• Learn about New Brunswick companies that offer careers of interest;

• Participate in discussions with online mentors/career coaches; and,

• Participate in workplace learning activities, such as job-shadowing, co-operative education placements, company tours, and part-time employment.
