LMIC partners with myBlueprint, Université Laval to develop digital LMI tools for career professionals

The Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) has partnered with two career services-focused organizations to design digital tools that will help career development professionals access and use labour market information (LMI).

LMIC will collaborate with myBlueprint to create an LMI micro-site that will provide up-to-date and accurate location-based LMI, data visualization and engagement so secondary school students can explore career pathways alongside the career professionals that support them.

LMIC will also collaborate with the School of Counseling and Guidance at Université Laval to create a digital tool that will help students studying counselling and career development professionals to support their clients in the search for labour market information.

The digital tools will leverage the power of LMIC’s Data Hub, a data repository that consolidates and distributes a wide range of high-quality, up-to-date LMI from sources across Canada.

Code for Canada will lead a collaborative design process for the digital tools, which are expected to launch in March 2023.

The initiative is supported by the Future Skills Centre (FSC) as a part of the Equipping Career Services with LMI Tools and Data project, which is guided by the LMIC-FSC Career Development Stakeholder Committee.
