The Community Employment Agency (CEA) is a division of Moncton Employment & Training Services (METS) that provides employment services to people with intellectual disabilities (including those considered slow learners) and people with brain injuries.

The Community Employment Agency has been providing employment assistance services since the early 1980s. In 2003, the CEA expanded its services to include southeastern New Brunswick and partnered with employers to help meet their labour needs.
