Evaluation of Buildforce Canada’s Labour Market Information (LMI) Program

SRDC is conducting an evaluation of BuildForce Canada’s Labour Market Information (LMI) program. The cornerstone of this program is a demand and supply model, which is used to provide forecasts of both construction investment and labour market demand for skilled trades. This study is a follow-up to SRDC’s 2016 evaluation of the program, and is exploring how various stakeholders utilize, value, and rely on BuildForce Canada’s products to inform decisions in the sector. The evaluation design includes a series of key informant interviews with members of BuildForce’s regional LMI committees and a national stakeholder survey of construction sector LMI users.
