The ASD-N Miramichi ICE Centre is a Career Education Centre created through a partnership between Anglophone North School District and NBCC Miramichi. The Centre focuses on providing a range of career-focused courses for high school students across the district.
ASD-N continues to develop programs that align with labour market needs and offer students meaningful education and training. These courses are designed to help students build skills that connect directly to opportunities available here in New Brunswick.
One of the programs offered to Miramichi area high school students is Intro to Fire Fighting. Students in this course develop the skills and knowledge needed to work safely and effectively as part of a fire-service team. The learning includes classroom instruction, practical exercises and field experiences. Students also explore Fire Services in New Brunswick along with various career and volunteer pathways.
Today, students in the program welcomed Provincial Fire Marshal Mike Lewis, Superintendent Dean Mutch and program partners. Visitors had the chance to see the students demonstrate what they have learned so far and hear their reflections on this innovative program, which is the only one of its kind in the province.
ICE programs continue to grow and are now offered in Miramichi, Rexton, Bathurst, Campbellton, Natoaganeg, Esgenoopetitj and Elsipogtog.
