For the summer of 2021, our small student-led team worked on a research project called ConnectNB through the Pathways to Professions (P2P) program at the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT). P2P is a 13-week experiential learning program that provides post-secondary students with an opportunity to work on NB-relevant research projects while completing workplace and professional development training. The goal of the ConnectNB research stream was to create a networking program to provide experiential education opportunities to post-secondary students in NB.
