Seasonal Labour Connections

Seasonal Labour Connections Program

Connecting Seasonal Workers with Local Farms and Fisheries

WorkingNB is undergoing a pilot project that aims to connect seasonal workers with employers experiencing high labour demand in the agriculture and fishery industries. The goal is to help employers find additional workers in times of need and to provide seasonal workers with additional employment opportunities when they are not working.

WorkingNB will ensure connections are also made with stakeholders that currently work with individuals and employers on farms and fisheries regarding workforce opportunities.
