Teaching at any level is a rewarding career, but early childhood teachers have a special opportunity to help children at their earliest stages. Early Childhood Education programs at UNBITI teach students the skills they need to get children started on a successful journey through the education system
Graduates from our Human Services Counsellor Program will be prepared for employment in the sectors of human services, mental health and community living. You will learn to build purposeful relationships that promote enhanced services on all levels of health and wellbeing within individuals, families and groups in the communities.
The field of addictions counselling is growing and graduates of the UNBI Training Institute are in high demand. It takes emotional maturity, good people skills and a strong sense of self identity to become an addictions counsellor . The program is also the first in New Brunswick to integrate mental health, addictions and First Nations world view. Addiction Counselling is a two-year diploma.
A Personal Support Worker, also known as a Personal Care Attendant is someone who cares for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of a patient who are not able to do so for themselves, typically in the elderly.

Workshops have included Nutrition, Menu Planning, Food Handling, Puppet Making, Policies and Procedures, Play, Reiki, Guidance, Documentation, NB Curriculum Training, and Care of the Child in Crisis. Staff create professional development workshops based on need.
I am writing this letter to explain exactly what UNBITI did for me not only from a professional standpoint but also a personal one. I was very anxious to go back to school as a mature student, my own daughter was entering kindergarten that year as well. Over time I not only became a better Early Childhood Educator but also a mother. Things I knew instinctively to do I know had concrete reason behind why I was doing then both for my own child and the children I was teaching. I learned so much from not only the curriculum but from the other women I was attending school with. We shared experiences and stories and problem solved together. Our instructors never lost patience and worked with us all as individuals, we all supported each other during tough times such as losing our favorite teacher Vicki Anderson so suddenly and tragically and also through positive events such as weddings and babies. I began school waiting for it to be done however at some point I began looking forward to class and loved being a part of the little family we became. I personally gained knowledge, confidence and a true deep love for Early Childhood Education and its importance for all of our children and communities. So much so that I became a part time instructor for many years until the summer of this year where I am now a full time employee. I feel blessed to have had the opportunities I have had through UNBITI not all pleasant, however I gained and grew from them all because of the love and support I have found here. I look forward to the future of UNBITI and the possibilities for all the Students who will come through our doors and the lives of the children they will positively impact.
