Podcast notes:

"On this week’s Insights podcast, Don and David speak with Mary Butler, President and CEO of the New Brunswick Community College.  The NBCC has six campuses, 1,200 employees, 5,500 full-time students and 13,000 total learners each year.  Enrolment has been rising, and the college boasts a 90 percent graduation rate.  Butler and her team are rethinking the role of college education in New Brunswick, tackling issues such as international skills recognition, strengthening college entry pathways for high school students and embracing artificial intelligence (AI).  As the NEET rate among young New Brunswickers (those Not in Employment, Education and Training) is rising, she sees a golden opportunity for the NBCC.
