Holt says Townsend will begin her new role effective immediately.
Townsend was minister of post-secondary education, training and labour before she took time off in February for surgery and other treatment.
Holt welcomed Townsend to the position, saying it was important for government to have a voice at the table when it comes to labour.
The premier says Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jean-Claude D’Amours, who had taken up the portfolio of post-secondary education, training and labour, will continue in the role.
