Note: this session will be 2 hours long as we have 4 presentersPresenter 1: Michael Burt, Vice-President, Economics and Education, Conference Board of CanadaDescription: Using Labour Market Information to Develop a Skilled WorkforceCanada’s labour market continues to evolve. Employers are becoming more creative in how they find and develop people, technology continues to disrupt how people work, and workers need to continuously evolve their skills sets if they are to succeed. Better labour market information (LMI) can help leaders and individuals make better informed decisions about the skills they should be investing in. In this session we will discuss how we are using LMI to better understand how people develop skills, and also to inform decision making from PSI program investments, to microcredential course selections, to career pathing.Presenter 2: Austin Hracs, Senior Vice President of Research and Partnerships, Vicinity Jobs Inc.Description: Nowcasting with Vicinity Jobs Data for Agile Skills DevelopmentExplore the Vicinity Jobs Trends Navigator for Educators, a powerful tool developed over the past year in collaboration with 15 Canadian Universities. This tool is designed to support program development and continuing education by providing a “nowcasting” capability—delivering the most recent labour market information to understand what skills are currently needed, rather than forecasting future demand. By leveraging high-frequency job posting data alongside traditional sources like Statistics Canada, the Trends Navigator helps educators identify skills gaps, respond to emerging trends, and ensure program relevance. Learn how this tool offers actionable insights to support curriculum development, strategic planning, and effective program delivery.Presenter 3: Melissa Goldberg, Director - Competencies &amp; Credentials, Corporation for a Skilled WorkforceDescription: Creating Home Care workforce infrastructure in MichiganCorporation for a Skilled Workforce (CSW) is supporting IMPART Alliance of Michigan State University on an effort to build a suite of industry-recognized certifications for Home Care or Direct Care Workers (DCWs). These competency-based credentials are informed by LMI and input from industry experts and subject matter experts as we gather detailed input about the required competencies for various DCW roles and the value of DCW certification, then develop a delivery solution. Ultimately, there will be two paths to certification, one of which will utilize RPL and recognition of prior experience. The goal of this work will be professional acknowledgement of the skills and competencies required for successful Home Care workers.Presenter 4: Claire Quirion, Director of Project &amp; Program Delivery, Digital Nova ScotiaDescription: Digital Essential Skills Self-Assessment PlatformThis session will focus on discussing Digital Nova Scotia's projects that have been done in partnership with RPL. The first is the Digital Essential Skills self-assessment platform, a free tool that allows Nova Scotian job seekers and employees to compare their current digital competency levels to the recommended levels for 24 in-demand job roles across 13 industry sectors. <h3> </h3>
