Report from Service Delivery Advisory Group Meeting
ACTEW’s Jen Liptrot attended the most recent Service Delivery Advisory Group (SDAG) meeting on December 15, 2006. The following items were reported:
Through late November and early December MTCU held several regional consultation sessions with stakeholders to walk through “the plan for the plan” with respect to local labour market planning in a post-LMDA Ontario.
Considerable work has also been taking place behind the scenes to support MTCU’s reorganization of their Labour Market and Training Division in anticipation of the LMDA.
One major change is a move towards a “functional model” in their organizational design. According to MTCU, this new model will provide better information channels, clear pathways and easier navigation among the full range of training and employment services. Read the short MTCU presentation on this new functional model here:

If you’re interested, you can also see the new management org chart at

All this planning seems to be looking good and MTCU is hoping for a reasonably smooth transition.
The most important piece of information to pass along to agencies is that the Employment Ontario web site should be updated as January 2007 to include descriptions and info on all the federally-funded programs that are being devolved. Agencies can check this web site for updates on LMDA transition.
Agencies should also be receiving letters from MTCU and/or Service Canada about the changes. Information will also be provided to support branding and referrals.
Once again, business continuity is being emphasized, which means that MTCU and Service Canada are striving for little noticable change come January 1.
We’d be interested in hearing from you over the next few weeks—did your agency experience any changes? If so, what were they? We’ll take the information back to the next SDAG meeting.

Hi,
I've gone to the link you have for Employment Ont. to see what LMDA updates there are. There's nothing there about the LMDA. Is this the right web page? When will there be updates online?

Hi there, it turns out the information is yet to be uploaded. MTCU has just informed us that they will be launching an "Employment Ontario Partnership Gateway", which is designed to provide information to service providers. This new portal is supposed to be up and running shortly. When we find out it's launched, we'll let you know, too.
