NL releases $1.15M for research projects at CNA

The Newfoundland government is investing $1.15M for three research projects through the Newfoundland and Labrador Workforce Innovation Centre, an initiative administered by College of the North Atlantic. A release explains that the funds will support a pilot project that explores best practices in the delivery of employment programs, services, and supports for at-risk youth and young adults aged 15 to 40; a research-based program to support social enterprise throughout the province; and an entrepreneurial partnership with the Vine Place Community Centre. “Workforce development is a priority for our government and we look forward to continuing to support economic growth and diversification through the Newfoundland and Labrador Workforce Innovation Centre in Corner Brook,” said Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour Bernard Davis.
