What is LMI
Labour market information (LMI) can help make decisions about the future. It includes information about careers such as job perspectives, trends, salaries, job requirements and potential employers. It also indicates where to get the training to reach your goal.
There are many sources of LMI. Sometimes it is right in front of you. Developing the skills needed to recognize labour market information gives you an advantage when making career, learning and employment decisions.
About the project
In the fall of 2009, the First Nations Human Resources Development Commission of Quebec (FNHRDCQ) signed an agreement with the Government of Canada under the Aboriginal Skills & Training Strategic Investment Fund (ASTSIF).
The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Development Center is the pilot site for the Labour Market Information project.
Objectives
The objectives of this new venture are to develop and implement Labour Market Information and job placement services in Listuguj through partnerships with Service Canada, Emploi Quebec and the FNHRDCQ.
With the increasing population growth in Listuguj, the LMDC will require new tools to deliver quality services to a greater number of youth entering the labour market in search of employment in the next ten (10) years. Labour Market Information (LMI) is a major component to support this strategy!

Aboriginal Construction Careers
Everywhere you look, people are building. Construction careers are cool. The demand is high. The wages are great and you can earn while you learn. If you think it’s all about hammering nails and pouring cement, think again. Construction is a $130-billion industry that accounts for more than 12% of Canada’s economy. It needs creative, skilled and competitive people in every part of the country. It needs people like you! The Construction Sector Council created AboriginalConstructionCareers.ca to provide young Aboriginal Canadians with information that can help them choose the right career path.
