The Department of Jobs, Growth and Rural Development is a provincial government department in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The department is headed by a member of the provincial cabinet, typically a Member of the House of Assembly, who is chosen by the premier and formally appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador. The current Minister of Jobs, Immigration and Growth is Lin Paddock.[1] After the 2025 election the department was split into two different ministries, those being, the Department of Immigration and the Department of Jobs and Growth. MHA Lin Paddock heads both.[2]
The department was created in October 2011 as the Department of Advanced Education, Skills, and Labour, by the government of Kathy Dunderdale, and incorporates most of the former Department of Human Resources, Labour and Employment as well as the advanced studies component of the Department of Education.[3][4] In 2020, the department was reconfigured as Immigration, Skills and Labour.[5] In 2025, the department was renamed the Department of Jobs, Immigration and Growth.[6]
