Workforce Development

What Is the Shared Workforce Program?

The Shared Workforce Program is an initiative delivered by the Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick to support workforce connections across the agri-food sector. The program connects employers with job seekers from across New Brunswick's diverse workforce, including newcomers, students, and local community members interested in careers in the agri-food sector. Through workforce matching, recruitment support, and sector connections, the program helps businesses address seasonal workforce needs while creating opportunities for individuals looking to build experience in the agri-food sector.
