Much like Skills Launch, Head Start to Employment stands as a program designed with the primary objective of facilitating the smooth transition of newcomers into the New Brunswick workforce.
This highly successful program adopts a personalized, one-on-one approach, specifically tailored for newcomers in the Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John areas who may be encountering barriers to employment or education. Our dedicated navigators engage with each newcomer to identify their unique challenges and barriers, subsequently guiding them to the appropriate community resources. In addition, our navigators provide direct assistance with resume building and the enhancement of interview skills. An integral aspect of the program’s success lies in the navigators’ ability to establish extensive professional networks comprising employers and community organizations.
