Project Overview
The Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) is seeking a qualified vendor to redesign and rebuild its website into a modern, scalable digital knowledge hub for labour market information in Canada.
LMIC is a pan-Canadian nonprofit organization that works with governments, researchers, employers, educators, and other stakeholders to improve the accessibility and quality of labour market data. The new website will serve as a central platform for research publications, dashboards, tools, and insights that help Canadians make informed workforce and education decisions.
