The University of New Brunswick’s McKenna Institute and Venn Innovation have launched a partnership called TechConnect Southeast to help newcomers, underrepresented groups, and other individuals prepare for and begin their career. This program will offer paid work placements, hands-on training, and mentorship to support participants in building their skillsets and acquiring meaningful jobs. “Ensuring newcomers and equity-deserving groups are supported in building upon their existing skills and tech experience can lead to shorter job searches, meaningful employment and the opportunity to thrive in our province,” said UNB McKenna Executive Director Adrienne Oldford.
