Forum national sur l’IMT de 2004

Forum des ministres du marché du travail Créé en 1983 Gouvernements FPT travaillent de concert Discussions et collaborations entre administrations RHDCC et Nouvelle-Écosse Let’s begin with some background about the Forum of Labour Market Ministers, the founding body to whom they report. In 1983 (20 years ago), federal, provincial and territorial governments formed the Forum of Labour Market Ministers (or FLMM) to promote discussion and collaboration on common labour market issues. It includes senior officials responsible for labour market matters from all jurisdictions. Over the years, governments have taken a leadership role in compiling, analyzing and sharing labour market information (LMI) because it’s an important tool for many Canadians… it helps employers and individuals make good decisions and meet new skills challenges. Jurisdictions have traditionally collaborated very little in the area of LMI even though they have many of the same goals. There was no formal way to work together, share information and reduce duplication. It was clear that a mechanism to make better use of resources was needed. The challenge to provide quality labour market information is a national one. In October 2000, the FLMM approved the formation of the LMI Working Group, a sub working group to be responsible for coordinating the development and delivery of LMI across all jurisdictions.

Initiatives clés Forums nationaux annuels Site Web sur l’IMT du FMMT Plan d’action sur les données Trousse de suivi du marché du travail Guide des ressources d’IMT Lignes directrices relatives à la prestation des produits et des services d'IMT Modèles de prévisions à l'échelle provinciale Ressources pour la formation sur l’IMT Now I would like to discuss our second main point . . . some of the initiatives the group has accomplished. But I have to preface that by saying that it all begins with a solid foundation - a plan. The LMI Working Group developed a strategic plan that lays out, in a clear and practical way, what the working group wants to accomplish. I cannot stress enough the importance of this document in keeping the group on track. It’s been a major factor in their success. The plan has been their blueprint for coordinated activity. The group is now into its fourth year of operation and I’m proud to say that they have accomplished many of the projects they set out to do. Some products are already in the hands of the consumer and a few are still in development. Some of the key initiatives include: Action Plan on Data consultations LMI Product Guidelines LMI Service Delivery Guidelines FLMM LMI website.
