The settlement sector in New Brunswick has grown exponentially in the past decade, with a current cumulative workforce of approximately 300 people. Similarly, immigration continues to be a priority policy for federal and provincial governments alike.

​

The Sector Enhancement and Member Engagement project is driven by the growing need to support the New Brunswick Settlement Sector through resources, professional development, and opportunities to network and collaborate.

​

Through this project, Member Organizations are equipped with the information, tools, resources, and networks required to enrich the integration, inclusion, and retention of newcomers within their communities.

​

Project Goals
 

• In collaboration with the Settlement Sector Academy project, we offer strategic training and professional development opportunities to settlement professionals from across the province;

• Provide a collective voice for Members within and outside of NBMC;

• Increase opportunities for cross-collaboration and coordinated efforts to address sector-specific challenges (Collaboration Days with external stakeholders, online discussions, monthly Executive Director meetings with external presenters, and more);

• Creating and maximizing original content and NB-specific resources for the Sector;

• Recognize Champions for Cultural Diversity for outstanding contributions in integrating and celebrating newcomers in our province.
