Objective

The Local Labour Market Partnership (LLMP) Program is designed to help Six Nations of the Grand River’s employers and service organizations and local employee and/or employer associations, improve their capacity for developing and implementing strategies to deal with labour force adjustments and to meet human resource requirements.

The LLMP program addresses labour market issues, by partners who are facing a similar labour market issue, working together on a project.
Labour market issues relate mainly to an imbalance in the supply (number of workers with particular skills and the demand side (available and anticipated employment opportunities) of the labour market. The two strongest indictors of a labour market issue are unfilled jobs and high unemployment.
