IN THIS ISSUE: Labour Market Information

CERIC’s 2011 Survey of Career Service Professionals revealed that a majority of career practitioners identified labour market information (LMI) as an area in which they needed professional development. The creation of our new Reports & Trends section on the ContactPoint website answers the need, while this issue of The Bulletin seeks to advance the conversation.

Rick Miner, with his Jobs of the Future report, discusses the effects an aging population and an emerging knowledge economy will have on the labour market, and how we should adapt.

The result of a partnership between CERIC and the Green Skills Network, the Emerging Green Jobs in Canada labour market report examines the possibilities of entry-level employment in the green economy in Canada.

From careers in agriculture to the arts, this issue of The Bulletin explores the country’s labour markets. As well, a contribution from the Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada highlights the opportunities in the booming Canadian oil sands sector.

Enjoy the issue, then share your ideas, experiences and best LMI resources through our social media.
