New Brunswick Community College recently announced that it is cancelling eight programs that were scheduled to begin in January 2024. NBCC stated that this decision was made with the intent of reducing the projected January enrolment to a level at which the college would be better positioned to support. Though the names of the cancelled programs were not disclosed, NBCC clarified that any program in priority sectors facing critical labour shortages–such as health care and the trades–would not be affected. NBCC added that it is reviewing its enrolment strategies, admissions processes, and student services to ensure it can maintain responsible and sustainable enrolment for the benefit of its students, staff, and community.
