An Opportunity to Evaluate the LMDA Implementation
If you or your organization participated in an intervention in the early stage of the LMDA implementation, you are encouraged to participate in an evaluation. This is an opportunity to provide MTCU with feedback on the implementation that has lead to Employment Ontario, including successful activities and areas for improvement.
Howard Green, Service Canada, and Laurie LeBlanc, MTCU, have notified service providers that the evaluation will be undertaken by TNS Canadian Facts, Social and Policy Research. It began in July 2009 and will be completed in the Fall 2009.
The evaluation will focus on activity immediately after the transfer of funds from the federal government to the province in January 2007 to March 31, 2008. A second phase of evaluation will be conducted in 2010. TNS will be contacting organizations based on a random list. Not all organizations participating in the implementation will be contacted.
ACTEW undertook a survey of the sector prior to the LMDA implementation, in December 2006. "Patching It Together: Employment and Training Opportunities for Women in Ontario Pre-Ontario-Canada Labour Market Development Agreement" found that agencies serving women struggled for funding and program supports for their in-demand employment and training services for women.
