Resilient Careers NB

Supporting New Brunswick Job Seekers in a Changing Economy

Resilient Careers NB is a targeted initiative designed to support those affected by economic changes in New Brunswick. Our personalized, high-impact approach ensures every job seeker gets the support they need to rebuild confidence and move forward successfully.

The recent U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports are expected to impact New Brunswick businesses and workers, leading to layoffs, industry shifts, and financial uncertainty. Resilient Careers NB is a targeted initiative designed to support those affected, helping them transition into new career opportunities, upskill for in-demand jobs, or explore self-employment pathways.

At Acorn Avenue Career Consulting, we recognize that job loss and career changes can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve developed a personalized, high-impact approach that ensures every job seeker gets the support they need to rebuild confidence and move forward successfully.

Resilient Careers NB services will be available soon. Please reach out to us if you are interested in learning more.

How This Program Complements Existing Services

WorkingNB and its partners have long been a cornerstone of support for job seekers in New Brunswick, providing essential resources such as access to job training, job search assistance, and employer connections. Their efforts have been instrumental in helping individuals navigate career transitions and secure meaningful employment.

Resilient Careers NB seeks to build upon this strong foundation by offering personalized, hands-on support to job seekers who need deeper career guidance to achieve long-term success. Our approach complements existing employment services by providing:

✔ One-on-one coaching for job seekers requiring in-depth career exploration, resume optimization, and interview preparation.
✔ Group coaching and self-paced tools to expand access to career development while maintaining individualized support.
✔ A hybrid approach (virtual and in-person services) to ensure accessibility for all job seekers, regardless of location or circumstances.
✔ Guidance beyond employment placement, including career confidence-building, professional networking strategies, and long-term career growth planning.
✔ Specialized support for career transitions, such as pivoting to new industries, upskilling, and navigating workforce re-entry after time away.

This initiative is designed to work in partnership with existing programs like WorkingNB, ensuring that no job seeker is left behind. By providing additional layers of coaching, skill development, and confidence-building, Resilient Careers NB helps individuals not just find jobs but build resilient, fulfilling careers that align with their strengths and aspirations.
