With the launch of the Ekiti Labour Market Information System (LMIS), the next critical step is data collection β and that begins now with the Data Collection Initiative.
π Whatβs Happening?
This initiative will collect real-time labour data across Ekitiβs local governments, focusing on:
- Employment/unemployment figures
- Sectoral labour needs
- Skills supply vs. demand
- Informal economy dynamics
- Gender, youth, and rural labour participation
π― Why It Matters
For the EKiti LMIS to work, it needs good data. This initiative ensures the platform doesnβt become a static tool but remains alive, relevant, and responsive.
- Job seekers get better guidance and matching
- Businesses get clearer insights for hiring
- Policymakers can design targeted interventions based on actual demand
π§© Whoβs Involved?
- Employers β to report job trends and hiring challenges
- Schools & Training Centres β to align curriculum with need
- Local Government Agents β to drive grassroots data collection
- Community Leaders β to raise awareness and trust
π A Call to All Stakeholders
Participation is not optional β itβs the engine that makes the LMIS run.
βWe count on you,β the Ministry said, βto turn data into impact.β
This is about more than numbers. Itβs about building a future where no talent goes unseen, and every Ekiti citizen has a fair shot at opportunity.
