LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION PROJECT – PHASE I

Final Report – Released July 31, 2007

The CSCSC's LMI project, begun in December 2006, has wrapped up with the release of a final report that indicates a high need and demand for LMI in the supply chain sector.

The LMI project was designed to gather stakeholders' input regarding the types of LMI that the Council should develop in order to support the people, businesses and organizations involved in supply chain activities in Canada. SPR Associates Inc. conducted the research under the guidance of a working group of the CSCSC Research Committee.

The project's final report provides the following recommendations: 

• The CSCSC should develop a regionally based network to aid the development of LMI and sector HR generally. 
• LMI products should be developed to increase the current level of awareness of LMI, and any gaps that should be filled should be identified. 
• The CSCSC should begin to develop key tools in areas such as project supply and demand for specific occupations, occupational (skill profile and wage) data, and awareness promotion.

Funding from the Government of Canada's Sector Council Program has been secured for a Phase II LMI project that will set out the priority elements of an LMI system that responds to the needs identified by sector stakeholders in the first phase of the project.
