Manufacturing Fundamentals for Grade 11 & 12 Students (Microcredential)

Want to explore the different trades used in the manufacturing sector?

Here's a chance for grade 11 & 12 students to explore various manufacturing trades as future career options - and even pick up valuable employability skills in the process.

NBCC is offering an 8-week Manufacturing Fundamentals microcredential program as part of the work-integrated learning partnership between Marshall Skills Academy Canada, New Brunswick Community College (NBCC), and University of New Brunswick Saint John (UNB).

This program will provide a basic introduction to several trades, including additional opportunities to build employability skills. Learners will also be assessed by the college and employers for future training and employment opportunities at a technician, technologist, or engineering level via the Earn as You Learn pathway that can be entered after completing grade 12.

Program cohorts will be offered in either Moncton or Saint John.
