Planet Hatch Program Will Prepare Students For Future Economy
FREDERICTON – Planet Hatch is preparing to launch a new program that prepares post-secondary students for the coming wave of employment opportunities, and it hopes to extend the program beyond New Brunswick.
The Fredericton-based innovation hub is working with the University of New Brunswick on the pilot of the Future of Work Skills-Development program, which it hopes to launch in the next few months.
Overseen by Ignite Fredericton, Planet Hatch is developing a suite of programs that aim to develop entrepreneurs and employees who can compete globally and be able to participate fully in coming economic trends. It aims to identify future economic trends and create strength in the industries that will grow in coming years.
“Our focus is on establishing channel partners and collaborating with educational institutions,” said Planet Hatch Director Adam Peabody in an interview. “It’s raising our sights in Atlantic Canada, knowing we can compete in any other jurisdiction. We’re focusing on talent and we’re focusing on export-oriented companies.”
