Mapping the Career Services
Delivery Ecosystem
Key questions:
• Who or what organizations are providing career services?
• What qualifications or training do service providers have?
• What services do they offer?
• How to clients learn about these services?
• Who is the target clientele?
• Are the programs publicly funded?
• How are services accessed (e.g., through EI)?
• How are services delivered?
• What types of LMI are being used/needed?
• What program evaluations exist?

13. 13
Designing an LMI Micro-
credential
• LMI contains too much jargon and requires specialized knowledge and/or
time investment to find, access, understand
• Reliance tends to be on informal sources of LMI like social media
• Few, if any, low cost, flexible, and self-directed options for developing LMI
literacy
• LMIC w/ the Canadian Career Development Foundation to develop
several learning modules aligned to the CCDF’s new CDP Competency
Framework
• Individuals who choose to complete all modules in the series will be
eligible for a micro-credential that will be endorsed by LMIC and CCDF,
and possibly external accrediting body
