The Labour Market Group (LMG) has released their 2013 Local Labour Market Plan Update report for circulation among community stakeholders.  It is available for download on the Board’s website at www.thelabourmarketgroup.ca or by contacting the Board office. 

“Six months has passed since we released our LLMP, and LMG is now excited to share with you an ‘update’ to the plan” states Joe Daniel, Business Co-Chair of the Board. The 2013-2014 Local Labour Market Plan Update focuses on the Employment Ontario broader support service network, including related client supports and services in the community. The update puts less emphasis on employers’ consultations and offers an added focus on Employment Ontario clients and programs. 

For the 2013-2014 update, LMG continued to gather, analyze and interpret local labour market indicators and other data including the most recent Household Survey information. “New in the update report, LMG added an analysis of aggregated Employment Ontario program/client datasets for the local area. This additional input has been used as part of the analysis of the local labour market and incorporated as part of the LLMP update” states Randy Brousseau, Labour Co-Chair. The Employment Ontario datasets have been used to validate the local workforce characteristics and client outcomes in the local area. The datasets have also helped to identify existing gaps in service and have provided insight on how to better engage underrepresented groups.

LMG engaged employment and community service providers in a discussion of their information needs and used the aggregated Employment Ontario datasets provided by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to guide planning discussions with local service providers.  The results are provided in the update, summarize the discussions held with stakeholders and reflect key issues and questions determined by the evidence.

The Labour Market Group is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and is part of the Employment Ontario Network.
