The Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) conducted surveys of over 20,000 individuals and nearly 900 career practitioners to understand their labour market information needs and challenges. The surveys found that while most Canadians seeking career assistance have an idea of the information they need, they struggle to find available data. LMIC aims to address these challenges by making labour market data more accessible, up-to-date, trustworthy and user-friendly to better support workers, job seekers, and career practitioners.

Mission of LMIC
4. Importance of LMI in Career Development
• Career Development Professionals help individuals plan for and
navigate learning and work transitions across the lifespan
• To do that well means helping people to:
• Explore inward (to understand their own interests, strengths, values and
preferences)
• Explore outward (to understand their structure of opportunity)
• Make informed decisions and take targeted action that
reflects both
• Delivering quality LMI to career development practitioners is key
5. LMI in Career Development
• When it comes to LMI, Career Development Professionals can help
workers and job seekers:
• Access and interpret LMI
• Navigate/Curate and zero in on specific sources of LMI that will
answer their unique questions
• Make grounded decisions about their careers
• Successfully navigate into and across the labour market

9. Key findings for Career Practitioners
• Most Canadians who seek assistance with career-related decisions already
have an idea of the kind of information they need, but have difficulty
finding available data
• Only three of five career practitioners surveyed think labour market
information is easy to understand, and fewer than half have received
training to help them understand the data
• To better support their clients, career practitioners require data that are up
to date, trustworthy and user-friendly

precarious employment, and more
