Penner said the new personnel would work on significant projects with corporate clients wanting to modify their digital systems as part of its Canadian delivery center.
She claimed that technical professions such as computer science, programming, and design will be among the employment kinds.
Other positions will be for persons with “functional competence” who will consult with clients to determine their business requirements.
She stated that the employee would not entail labor in a call center.
Using both domestic and international talent

“We have plenty of faith in the diversity of our recruiting procedures to guarantee that the sort of talent we attract has both the technical capabilities and the variety that would encourage individuals to want to be in New Brunswick, whether they’re currently here or trying to join Canada,” says the minister.
