Overview :
The Real-World Labour Market Challenge is a collaborative project between the Government of New Brunswick’s Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD), the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training, and Labour (PETL), and the Canadian Career Development Foundation (CCDF).
Created as a response to a growing need for career education integrated throughout the curriculum. The Real World Labour Market Challenge includes a series of Career Connected problem-based lesson plans that allow students to see themselves outside of the classroom, understand their role in the labour market, and use information that directly affects their communities, and their careers.
