About the Real World Challenge
Real World LMI is a collaborative initiative from the Government of New Brunswick and the Canadian Career Development Foundation
You'll love the Real World Challenges if you:
- Work with high school students in New Brunswick's Anglophone School Districts (Francophone coming soon!)
- Are looking for workshops and resources to support your students -- no matter the subject
- Are excited about bringing Career Connected learning to your professional development as an educator.
How it Works
Educators across New Brunswick are using the Real World Challenges with groups of students or their classrooms. The Real World Challenges are designed to integrate Project Based Learning with any curriculum outcome, and any size group. Sign up your group, and Emily Worthen from CCDF will support you through the process. Facilitate the workshops and use the resources with your students to create solutions to the labour market challenge. Using project-based learning principles, your class will and deliver a final product(s) or presentation(s) showcasing their solutions to their classmates. Submit your students solutions to the Real World Challenges team. Some students may decide to submit their solutions to be shared on the Real World Challenges website!
Sign Up
Fill out the form to commit to completing the challenges with your group at the end of the semester.
Workshops and Resources
Use and facilitate the Workshops and Resources available to you. Don't hesitate to connect with the Emily from the Canadian Career Development Foundation for brainstorming, other resources, or with your questions!
Wrapping Up
Wrapping up is integrated as part of the suggested workshop process. Students will present the solutions to the challenges to their class. Send all or some of the solutions to Emily, and deliver a wrap-up survey with your students. Each student that completes the survey will impact the longevity of this project!
Created as a response to a growing need for career education integrated throughout the curriculum. The Real World Labour Market Challenges allow students to see themselves outside of the classroom, to understand their role in the labour market, and use labour market information to inform career decision-making.

Célébrez ensemble
Les solutions à l’Enjeu du marché du travail que vos élèves imagineront seront formidables! Les élèves répondront à un sondage afin de faire part de leur expérience au gouvernement du Nouveau‑Brunswick et à la Fondation canadienne pour le développement de carrière, qui veilleront à ce que l’Enjeu revienne année après année. Leurs commentaires serviront à peaufiner le prochain Enjeu et les suivants! Regardez en classe les solutions d’élèves publiées sur la page Célébrer les solutions!
Join a Community of Educators
Across New Brunswick, teachers are taking up the Real World Labour Market Challenge and implementing project-based learning in their classrooms.
Involve Your Students in their Career
Students who are connected with their own career development are individuals better prepared to help themselves and support their communities. By introducing students with the skills to understand and use labour market information they jump-start their success, and increase their community contribution.
Connect with Real World Community Challenges
When students leave their classroom environment, they begin to participate and contribute to their communities. Project-based learning offers students a new lens and new vocabulary to see and experience their community in action.
