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.

✔ 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.
