WFP-LMI Project
Collecting precise and up-to-date data to better understand the labour market, training needs and employment opportunities in First Nations and Inuit communities.
By completing the surveys, you directly contribute to a better portrait of the labour market and training needs in your community.
What is the WFP-LMI Project?
Through the Workforce Profile (WFP) and Labour Market Information (LMI) project, the Commission aims to collect precise, up-to-date data on the labour market for First Nations and Inuit.
The information gathered on skills, jobs and training needs helps develop inclusive and tailored employment strategies that support the economic autonomy of First Nations and Inuit communities.
The project also supports communities in taking ownership of their data in order to guide decision-making in employment development, vocational training and economic strategies.

Supporting data ownership and decision-making
Beyond providing a portrait of the labour market in each community, the WFP-LMI Project aims to support communities in taking ownership of their data to guide decision-making in employment development, vocational training and economic strategies.
The Commission is committed to using the data in an ethical and efficient way. This commitment forms the cornerstone of the project and provides a solid foundation for First Nations workforce development strategies, data governance and digital sovereignty.
Improving employability
The goal is to improve community members’ access to skilled and sustainable jobs. The project supports initiatives that help people obtain employment and continue to grow professionally.
Skills development
The data collected helps identify training needs and adapt measures accordingly. The project contributes to the creation of relevant training pathways that are closely aligned with real labour market conditions.
Data sovereignty
By supporting the digital sovereignty of First Nations, the WFP-LMI Project strengthens communities’ ability to control, interpret and use their own data to make informed decisions.
Ethical data governance: PCAP principles
Our approach is based on the First Nations principles of Ownership, Control, Access and Possession (PCAP).
These principles affirm that First Nations control data collection processes and own the information that concerns them.
By applying PCAP, the WFP-LMI Project ensures that data is collected, analysed and shared in a way that is respectful, secure and useful for communities.
A collaborative approach
Communities are directly involved in the survey and analysis phases. This helps ensure that strategies are relevant and respectful of traditions and values.
By listening to community members and taking their perspectives into account at each stage, it becomes possible to propose tailored solutions that foster economic autonomy and sustainable development.
A collaborative initiative
The WFP-LMI Project is a collaborative initiative in which various partners and experts work together to build a more prosperous future for First Nations and Inuit communities.
First Nations and Inuit communities
Communities play an active role as both beneficiaries and contributors. Their experiences, knowledge and aspirations feed into the project’s database, ensuring that the strategies developed are truly aligned with their specific needs.
Employment and training specialists
Employment and training specialists analyse the data collected, identify labour market trends and design tailored training programs. They work closely with communities to ensure that the proposed solutions are viable and effective.
Institutional partners
Institutional partners, including governmental and non-governmental organizations, provide financial support, share research expertise and offer platforms to disseminate results. Their involvement helps increase the reach and impact of the project.
The combined efforts of these key players create a unique synergy that helps overcome long-standing labour market challenges in First Nations and Inuit communities and opens the door to sustainable, meaningful employment opportunities.
