Internship Placement for Summer 2024 Term
Application Deadline: March 11th, 2024
Location: 675 King Street, Fredericton, NB – Opportunity for some remote work
Number of placements: 1
Salary: $17.00/hour
Hours per week: 36.25
Placement Duration: May – August 2024
Department: Corporate Services, Finance and Treasury Board (FTB), GNB
Placement Description: This position would be situated within FTB's Project & Advisory Services (PAS) team. The PAS team acts as an internal consulting firm within the provincial government, providing trusted advice to senior leaders across all GNB departments – both political and administrative.
The Junior Advisor would report to a Senior Advisor, who would provide coaching and mentorship throughout the placement. The Junior Advisor will learn about the priorities of a variety of GNB departments, including the inner workings of government decision-making across various sectors. The responsibilities of the Junior Advisor will include: coordination and management of government strategies, priorities, and reports; qualitative data analysis; use of portfolio management tools (SharePoint, Power BI); coordination of information and reconcile reports; research and findings sharing; development and maintenance of various documents to support team operations; and light administrative tasks.
While this position will reside within PAS, the Junior Advisor will also collaborate with Executive Council Office (ECO) Accountability teams, gaining broader corporate awareness and exposure to performance excellence across GNB. This is a unique opportunity that could be a steppingstone into future opportunities with FTB, ECO, or any of the departments the candidate supports through their role. Furthermore, the skills development and coaching gained would be transferable to opportunities across GNB and beyond.
Qualifications: English (bilingualism is an asset). There is no specific educational background required for the Junior Advisor role. This placement requires an intern who is comfortable in a fast-paced environment, who is passionate about learning and development, is a quick study, and is comfortable reviewing large volumes of information on a variety of subjects. However, the intern is not required to have experience in all responsibility areas – coaching will be provided on the job, based on the projects the team is working on and the intern's areas for development.
