New Job Program Coordinator In New Brunswick

FUTURE LINK

Program Coordinator

FUTURE LINK is a new initiative launched by the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Moncton (CCGM) with support from Future NB, provincial business organizations and the province's four publicly funded universities. FUTURE LINK is a direct response to help local businesses transition to a new normal postCOVID-19. With a boost from local student talent, employers can begin discovering and acting on solutions to new and future business challenges. Working with Future NB, CCGM was able to place two Mount Allison (MTA) students who supported eight Chamber members over the course of their placement last year. The initial success of the program and with support from Future NB, the New Brunswick Business Council, and the Conseil Économique du Nouveau Brunswick, led CCGM to expand the program to include Chambers across New Brunswick and all four publicly-funded university students, namely, Mount Allison, St. Thomas, University of New Brunswick, and Université de Moncton.
