Labour Market Development Agreements (LMDA)

Labour Market Development Agreements (LMDAs) are partnerships between the Canadian federal government and provincial or territorial governments. They fund programs and services designed to help people find and keep employment, improve skills, and meet regional labor market needs. These agreements give provinces and territories flexibility to tailor job training, employment supports, and skill development initiatives to their local economies and populations, ensuring resources are effectively used to address specific employment challenges and opportunities in each region.
