This report is intended to complement Future Labour Supply and Demand 101: A Guide to Analysing and Predicting Occupational Trends, a technical document commissioned by the Forum of Labour Market Ministers (FLMM) Labour Market Information Working Group (LMIWG) with the aim of achieving greater consistency and coordination in labour supply and demand modeling in Canada. In conjunction with the technical document, this companion guide will assist stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding the occupational modeling needs of their organizations.

Ce rapport vise à compléter Future Labour Supply and Demand 101: A Guide to Analysing and Predicting Occupational Trends, un document technique commandé par le Groupe de travail sur l’information sur le marché du travail (GTIMT) du Forum des ministres du marché du travail (FMMT), dans le but d’accroître la cohérence et la coordination de la modélisation de l’offre et de la demande de main-d’œuvre au Canada. En complément du document technique, ce guide d’accompagnement aidera les intervenants à prendre des décisions éclairées concernant les besoins de modélisation professionnelle de leur organisation.
