Employment Ontario Data for Local Boards and Get SET (Skills, Education and Training) Regional Networks

From:Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development
To:All service delivery partners

What Is Happening?

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development is providing local boards and Get SET (Skills, Education and Training) regional networks with aggregate Employment Ontario (EO) data for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The aggregate reports include activity data for the following programs:

  • Apprenticeship (APPR)
  • Ontario Job Grant (formerly Canada-Ontario Job Grant) – Employer*
  • Ontario Job Grant (formerly Canada-Ontario Job Grant) – Participant*
  • Employment Service (ES)
  • Get SET (Skills, Education and Training)
  • Better Jobs Ontario (BJO)
  • Youth Job Connection (YJC)
  • Integrated Employment Services (IES)

*Note: As of May 4, 2026, the Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG) has been redesigned under the new name Ontario Job Grant (OJG). The EO data reports cover the 2025-2026 fiscal year, so the old name (COJG) has been used in the reports.

The data is shared in three sets (as noted below); and may help local boards and regional networks to identify potential gaps or duplications in service within their catchment areas and provide insight into better engaging under-represented groups. It is not intended to assess the performance of the EO network:

  1. Local Boards
  2. Consolidated Municipal Service Managers(CMSM)
  3. Census Divisions

Where Can I Find More Information?

The relevant data and data instruction guide will be sent in a separate email via the regional offices.

Who Is Affected?

Local Boards and Get SET regional networks.

What Should Be Done Now?

The local boards will use these data reports to validate local workforce characteristics and client outcomes in the local area. Local boards and regional networks are expected to discuss this data with service providers for local planning purposes and collaborate on joint actions to address identified issues in the local area.

Local boards are expected to work with Service System Managers (SSMs) for labour market information sharing to address labour market issues within their catchments. Data for service providers that fall within all the SSM catchment areas are included in the reports.

The results of the EO data analysis and consultations will be captured in the Local boards’ Local Labour Market Planning (LLMP) Report.
