MBA Programs in Newfoundland and Labrador

The economy of Newfoundland and Labrador is largely dependent on the province's natural resources. Fishing has long been the province's largest industry, but in recent years reductions in fishing jobs have led the provincial government to invest in re-training programs and growth industries in order to diversify the Newfoundland and Labrador economy. Graduates of MBA programs in Newfoundland and Labrador can use their management skills to play a part in this diversification.

Though energy, fishing, mining and paper production are Newfoundland and Labrador's biggest industries, many residents work in the business services sector. More than 35,000 of the province's 242,000 workers were employed in business, finance and administrative positions, according to the 2006 Census. Another 18,570 worked in management occupations. As the province's workforce shifts toward a modern, service-driven economy, job opportunities could open up for graduates of business schools in Newfoundland and Labrador and provide them with the types of challenges they seek.
