Valuing diversity challenges us not only to be a public service that reflects the community we serve but also to create a more respectful and productive public service and to be a model for other employers in Nova Scotia.

**About Us**:
The Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration works as a trusted partner to grow the population, develop our current and future workforce, and foster inclusive, safe, and fair workplaces.

We work together to create a future where everyone has an opportunity to thrive.

The Skills and Learning Branch provides a continuum of programs and services for individuals and employers that support learning achievement; inclusive engagement; labour market readiness, attachment, and participation; and workplace performance, all contributing to an inclusive, responsive, and productive workforce for the province.

The Director is accountable to formulate, develop, interpret and manage policies and guidelines pertaining to the Province's portfolio of student and graduate employment programs, which support Nova Scotia organizations to become effective employers of students and graduates throughout Nova Scotia.

Current programs include Graduate to Opportunity - Grow (GTO - Grow), GTO - Innovation Stream, the Student Summer Skills Incentive (SKILL), and the Co-operative Education Incentive (CEI). This includes directing research and analysis, setting service delivery standards, ensuring consistent and effective agreement management, and measuring and evaluating the programs’ outputs and outcomes.
