STRATEGIC PLAN 2021-2025
Introduction
The Labour Market Information Council is an independent, non-profit organization established in 2017 under the directive of the Forum of Labour Market Ministers. Our aim is to work collaboratively across governments and with stakeholders, public and private, to empower Canadians to make informed decisions by enabling access to quality, relevant, comprehensive data and insights across the pan-Canadian LMI ecosystem.
As part of our first strategic plan, LMIC underwent an independent organizational review and assessment of progress. The new Strategic Plan for 2021–25, builds on the lessons of the past three years and charts a path forward that enables LMIC to better support Canadians in navigating the world of work.
The strategic plan goals ensure that LMIC provides unique value in Canada’s labour market information ecosystem.
The Pan-Canadian LMI Ecosystem: A Collaborative Endeavour
LMIC's priorities are developed through extensive, ongoing engagement with Canadians, the FLMM, governments, partners and stakeholders. We will continuously seek input from a wide variety of stakeholders.
Canadians
Through public opinion research, LMIC regularly consults with Canadians on labour market information and insights to ensure that the right information is provided in a way that is most meaningful.
Stakeholders and Practitioners
LMIC partners with stakeholders across the LMI ecosystem including sector councils, associations, other not-for-profits, the private sector, education and training institutions, think tanks and beyond.
LMIC continues to build strong relationships with career development practitioners and related organizations who help Canadians of all ages and stages throughout their careers.
Government
LMIC works with governments across the country to add value to existing labour market information endeavours. This includes working with the Forum of Labour Market Ministers and representatives from federal, provincial and territorial governments across the LMI ecosystem.
Labour Markets Information Experts
LMIC’s work is peer reviewed by experts from a variety of fields. The Labour Market Information Experts Panel acts as a key resource for feedback, advice and guidance on research practices and methods. The Experts Panel is drawn from a variety of fields and sectors across the country and helps to ensure that our work is of the highest quality.
Strategic Goals
LMIC enables a pan-Canadian labour market information ecosystem that responds to the needs of Canadians by helping them make better-informed decisions. To that end, the following strategic goals will ensure LMIC continues to develop its role as key stakeholder and facilitator in the LMI ecosystem over the next five years:
