What does LLMP mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The purpose of LLMPs is to match skills and qualifications of local job seekers to available employment opportunities in their community, and to provide targeted services that meet diverse labour market needs.

Local employers, job seekers, and public and private agencies all benefit from Local Labour Market Partnerships. Employers can access qualified counter parts for their positions; job seekers can increase awareness around their skills; and agencies can better support job seekers by providing tailored information about employment opportunities specifically relevant for them.

The type of services offered through LLMPs vary according to local needs but may include career counseling, resume building, one-on-one coaching sessions, workshops on relevant topics such as interview techniques or networking events, job search guidance, soft skills training such as communication or problem solving, among other things.

As LLMPs are localized initiatives they may not serve communities beyond the region they are established in unless they partner with other organizations to extend services further afield. Additionally resources may be limited based on funding availability or capacity within the organization responsible for leading the initiative.

Information about local labour market partnerships should be available from your nearest government agency or workforce center; contact them directly for more information or visit www.llmpmap.org for an updated listing of active programs across Canada.
