New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) is a community college located throughout various locations in New Brunswick, Canada including Moncton, Miramichi, Fredericton, (its head office[2]), Saint John, St. Andrews, and Woodstock.
NBCC provides over 90 programs, offered at six campuses as well as First Nations sites and regional delivery sites throughout the province of New Brunswick.
On May 29, 2010, NBCC embarked on a self-governance model with the proclamation of the New Brunswick Community Colleges Act. The move established NBCC as an autonomous Crown Corporation whereby the President and CEO of the College reports to an elected Board of Governors.
Programs
NBCC offers over 90 regular programs across 18 sectors and provides other training in many apprenticeable trades, to corporate clients, and to individuals through part-time courses.
NBCC's Five-Year Strategic Plan
In collaboration with the Board of Governors, NBCC released a five-year plan with an aim to meet the needs of modern students, support industry and labor market demands and foster community engagement. [3]
International Projects and Research Initiatives
- Pan-Canadian Student Mobility Program (PSMP) (2004-2007), which provided numerous exchange opportunities between New Brunswick students and British Columbia students. [citation needed]
- NBCC was a founding member in the formation of the Atlantic Colleges Tourism Education Consortia (ACTEC), whose membership included post-secondary education institutional representatives from the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. ACTEC provided cross-institutional learning opportunities for tourism students as well as professional development possibilities for faculty and staff in the industry. [citation needed]
- NBCC is a founding member of the Cross-border Higher Education Program, which provides a supported transition for college students who wish to continue academic pathways in post-secondary studies in bachelor’s or master’s degree programs. Member partners also include St. Stephen's University in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Washington Co. Community College Calais, Maine, and University of Maine in Machias, Maine. [citation needed]
- In 1999, NBCC received the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) Award of Excellence for its Canadian College Partnership Programs work in Jordan. [citation needed]
- Again in 2002, NBCC was recognized by CIDA (Award of Excellence) for its international partnership with Universidad de Cienfuegos (UCF) in Cuba. Of critical importance for UCF was the development and implementation of the Extension Services Centre. [citation needed]
- For over two decades, NBCC has been a leader in post-secondary education and TVET at home and internationally. The College's expertise and assistance in thoughtful project management now reaches over 20 countries. [citation needed]
