Students help local businesses in Moncton address challenges that have arisen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Moncton Chamber of Commerce collaborated with Mount Allison University to form the Business Opening Opportunities Student Team (BOOST). As part of this initiative, a "SWAT Team" of students helps local businesses address a challenge or issue that has arisen during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is a collaborative, 'made in New Brunswick' solution that meets the needs of both local employers and students, who would have struggled to find meaningful summer work opportunities otherwise. The BOOST program has been funded by Future Ready NB and the federal Student Work Placement Program.
