About GNB Mosaïk

GNB Mosaïk is an intentionally co-created newcomer hiring program for anyone who was not born in Canada, is eligible to work in Canada and is seeking meaningful employment opportunities within GNB.

As the largest employer in the province, GNB has a role to play in supporting newcomers and refugees in their settlement journey.

GNB Mosaik will take on this role offering meaningful employment, on the job language support and making the connections that foster a sense of belonging in and out of the workplace.

By putting newcomers and refugees at the center of this work, GNB Mosaïk strives to embrace diversity and inclusion to better serve everyone who calls New Brunswick home.

Purpose

Co-create a GNB workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities in which we live and serve. Our purpose is to foster an inclusive environment where every individual's unique perspectives and talents are valued and leveraged to drive innovation and success.

Mission

Help mitigate the negative effects of the provincial skills shortages within GNB by modernizing the GNB hiring process using a human-centered approach to remove barriers and enable the hiring and welcoming of newcomers and refugees into the civil service.

Three Pillars

At GNB Mosaïk, we believe in a comprehensive approach to supporting newcomers and refugees as they integrate into the New Brunswick community. Our program is built on three fundamental pillars designed to ensure success in employment, language acquisition, and community integration.

Employment

The program will match diverse talent to meaningful jobs across our organization, identify and establish provincial, national, and international talent pipelines, and begin the work to prepare the GNB workforce to welcome and retain an influx of diverse talent. Ultimately, our goal is to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive, cooperative, and outstanding work environment.

Language

Language barriers hinder newcomers in finding employment. GNB Mosaïk will address this by providing intensive language training, interpretation and translation support, and adopting automated translation technology. This approach supports newcomers and refugees during hiring and onboarding, aiding their long-term integration into our workforce.

Community

GNB is to take a holistic approach to hiring, taking care of the whole person and family. To do this we will work alongside internal and external experts, to ensure that all newcomer hires are not only settling into their new job, but into their new community, and are having all essential needs met like finding a home, enrolling children in school and access to healthcare.
