For member agencies across the province, having online access to innovative, relevant, and well-researched learning resources is of paramount importance. It ensures that they can continually enhance their skills and knowledge, positioning them to provide newcomers with the essential resources for successful integration into New Brunswick. 

The Settlement Sector Academy (SSA) platform is meticulously designed to bolster the capacity of our members, enabling them to deliver high-quality services by leveraging technology for easy access to tools, resources, e-learning modules, and video coaching. 

This accessibility is particularly crucial for our members who serve in rural, remote, and Francophone centers, where accessing resources may pose greater challenges. 

The SSA Comprises Three Virtual Components: 

• Learning Hub: This platform houses NBMC’s e-learning courses, including ‘Settlement 101’ (an introduction to the settlement sector for those in the sector), ‘Volunteer 101’ (an introduction for volunteers), and our award-winning ‘Intercultural Competency Training: Culture Connects.’
• Networking: This platform connects employees of NBMC’s member agencies with one another and external subject matter experts.
• Resources: A section of NBMC’s website dedicated to hosting various resources, such as manuals and worksheets, intended to support NBMC’s member agencies in their work.
