Employment Sector Council (ESC) offers Labour Market Information (LMI): A Common Approach Training for our community’s employment and guidance counsellors in the use of labour market information (LMI) to better assist individuals in employment and career planning.
The key training outcome is a common, consistent, and high quality community-wide approach to recognizing and using good LMI with students and/or job seekers.
Our LMI training and this website now features even more current and regional LMI resources from our partners at the Local Employment Planning Council (LEPC) and www.worktrends.ca. We strongly recommend you continue to monitor these regional sites as more resources are developed and our workforce evolves.
