Real World Challenges
What is LMI?
Labour Market Information (LMI) is exactly what it sounds like: it's information that can guide understanding and decision-making about how people find employment and develop their careers. LMI includes information on careers, occupations, and the labour market. It is everything students and job seekers need to learn about and consider as they begin exploring careers and making informed decisions about the future
It can be overwhelming and confusing. But it is an extraordinary tool that can inform the decisions of individuals, organizations or governments. Knowing how to use LMI, and how apply information to challenges can powerfully impact decision-making, and open doors of opportunity.



What are the Real World Labour Market Challenges?
Every day, communities across New Brunswick are challenged to solve problems that affect everyone. The Government of New Brusnwick's Departments of Education and Early Childhood, Post-Secondary Education and Training and the Canadian Career Development Foundation are offering an opportunity to be heard on how best to address Real World Labour Market Challenges.
For classrooms addressing the challenges, students across New Brunswick will use labour market information and use it to suggest decisions or solutions to the challenges that impact them most. Share your classroom's innovative solutions to any of the challenges below, using active and relevant labour market information. Your solutions may affect the next decision made at a school, municipal, or provincial level!
Challenge One: Attracting and Retaining New Brunswick's Youth
Challenge Topic Two: Obtaining a Diversified Workforce / Recruiting Underrepresented Groups
Challenge Topic Three: Immigration and Welcoming Communities
