LMI Program
  • Labour Market Information (LMI) is the
    cornerstone of the CSCs activity
  • Drives future CSC work
  • Provides industry with accurate information and
    tools to assist in HR decision making
  • Assists government in policy making
  • Assists in determining Apprenticeship enrolments
  • Supports career awareness and selection
  • LMI programs products and services are directed
    at owners/users of construction, industry,
    governments, career decision-makers

4
We Have a Regional Network!
  • LMI committees are operational
  • British Columbia
  • Alberta
  • Saskatchewan
  • Manitoba
  • Ontario
  • Quebec
  • Atlantic
  • Currently validating the forecasts for 38 trades
  • Will be publishing the first forecasts in Spring
    2005
  • Will release a national outlook report
  • Each Regional Network Committee will work with
    the CSC to release a provincial/regional outlook
    report
  • The outlook reports will contain investment
    demand and an assessment of the labour supply
  • First attempt to provide comprehensive
    forecasting capability for the construction
    industry and will be refined over time

5
National Owners Committee
  • Established National Owners Committee
  • Proposed composition
  • Government (federal, provincial, municipal)
  • Resources
  • Utilities
  • Manufacturing
  • P3 (private, public, partnerships)
  • Property Developers
  • Proposed activities include
  • Supply/demand labour requirements
  • Owner demand information
  • Large projects list by province
  • Maintenance / shutdown information
  • Information on types of skills required for
    construction work

6
Working with Construction Owners
  • Labour Supply Diagnostic Service
  • Provided CNRL, Shell, Opti-NEXEN, and Suncor with
    analyses to better address construction workforce
    requirements
  • Assisted owners in assessing the labour
    availability risk when undertaking projects.
  • Assessed available labour supply using labour
    supply and demand forecast and other sources of
    information
  • Web-based Data Input Mechanism
  • Being undertaken in partnership with the
    Construction Owners Association of Alberta (COAA)
  • Develop for national use - pilot test in Alberta
  • Objectives
  • Easy for owners to provide demand information
  • Provide a confidential web-based interface
  • Obtain information from a larger base of owners
    and
  • Ongoing data to supplement the large project
    lists

7
Watch for New Developments
  • Publish the first national, provincial, and
    economic region forecasts in Spring 2005
  • Further developments and refinements to the
    approach to supply side modeling
  • Labour mobility behavioural factors
  • Regional Network validation
  • Will publish results of 6 research projects in
    the Spring 2005
  • Aboriginal Construction Training Infrastructure
  • Assessment and Recognition of Foreign Credentials
  • Labour Mobility
  • Breadth and Depth of Skills
  • Impact of Compulsory and Voluntary Certification

8
Boilermaker Career Awareness
  • LMI demonstrated shortages
  • All promotional materials have been approved and
    produced
  • Potential partners (help get the message out) are
    being contacted to make them aware of the
    campaign
  • boilermaker.ca is now live
  • Comments on website
  • If I were a skilled or unskilled tradesperson
    looking for work, I would find this site useful.
    I think many industries and sub-sectors should
    have sites like this.
  • Boiler making rocks!
  • Excellent site.

9
Ironworker Aboriginal Career Awareness
  • Objective
  • LMI demonstrated shortages
  • Partnership between the CSC and the Aboriginal
    Human Resource Development Council of Canada
  • Develop a national ironworker awareness campaign
    aimed at Aboriginal youth
  • Promote the ironworker trade to Aboriginal youth
    and encourage them to get into ironwork as soon
    as possible
  • Share generic aspects of the campaign across
    Canada with other trades facing shortages
  • Working with British Columbia Construction
    Association

10
Construction Careers Portal
  • Vision for the portal
  • Opportunity to promote careers in construction
  • Gateway to other related sites
  • Developed wireframe
  • Conducting research into each of the construction
    trades/ occupations and writing content
  • Negotiated rights to use video content from Trade
    Up

Design Concept
11
CSC and CAF Shrink Package
  • Proposing to develop shrink package career
    awareness kit for each province based on needs
    identified through the CSCs LMI program
  • This would be a targeted career awareness
    approach (demand supply)
  • Shrink package would consist of
  • CAF material
  • CSC trade / occupation information
  • What the trade / occupation is about .
  • Educational Toolkit for teachers, counselors,
    employers, parents, pre-apprentices
  • Career paths
  • Will work with local industry and government
    authorities

12
Supervisory Training Scoping Exercise
  • Definition of supervisor
  • For the purposes of this project, a front-line
    supervisor is defined as an individual who
    supervises one or more people directly involved
    in the hands-on work of construction
  • Project Objectives
  • To share information on existing supervisory
    training in residential and other construction
    sectors
  • To discuss the needs for supervisory training
  • To develop a plan of action for a national
    approach to supervisory training.
  • Advisory committee established with CCA
    representation
  • Conduct primary and secondary research
  • Based on research develop strategy and
    implementation plan
  • Project to be completed by June 2005

13
Essential Skills Strategy Implementation

    common core curriculum standards in the Carpenter
    trade in relation to
  • the delivery of training
  • the outcomes of the training
  • Carpenter mobility and

    and certification, that combine experience,
    competency testing and formal training
  • Enhances the image of the industry through
    effective promotion of construction management
    career opportunities

  • Based on the above criteria, identify existing
    construction management courses common across all
    sectors
  • Where gaps exist, develop new courses based on
    national standards
  • Provide venue for offering online courses
