A collaboration of government, industry partners, and stakeholders across New Brunswick, working together to increase opportunities and labour market participation in the skilled trades.
The Consortium is a collaboration of government, industry partners and other stakeholders throughout New Brunswick brought together to create a province-wide streamlined approach to increase opportunities and labour market participation in the skilled trades.
These objectives, rooted in the lived experiences of consortium members and partners, represent not just a strategic roadmap - but a shared commitment to reshaping New Brunswick’s skilled trades future. As the demand for skilled trades continues to grow, New Brunswick is leading the way with a proactive, inclusive, and collaborative approach.
When industry and government come together, the results can be transformative.
To ensure meaningful collaboration, a dual-committee structure was created. This framework guarantees that all six underrepresented groups, along with key voices from industry and government, are represented. The structure balances inclusive representation with effective governance, ensuring that strategic goals remain in sharp focus.
Provides subject matter expertise, reviews program design, and ensures the consortium’s initiatives are grounded in on-the-ground realities of the trades sector in New Brunswick.
Provides strategic direction, oversees governance, and ensures accountability across all consortium activities and deliverables.
The consortium is built to ensure all underrepresented groups in New Brunswick’s skilled trades are heard and supported.
