Local Labour Market Partnerships (LLMP) enable the creation of community partnerships and supports the development of strategies to expand a
community's employment base and enhance local economic success. LLMP allows
employment interventions to be strategically situated within a broader planning
framework for the development of individuals and the community as a whole.
LLMP encourages and enables communities to take responsibility for their own employment related needs. It is the vehicle through which Regions and local offices can experiment with approaches to improve the functioning of their labour markets and address local labour
force priorities. It does so by encouraging the creation of jobs, the
development of employment skills and supporting economic development research
strategies and experimentation at the local and regional level provided those
activities include the involvement and concurrence of community partners.
Employers can benefit from LLMP in various ways. For example, they can directly participate in the development of local economic strategies or projects, help identify the local labour force skills that employers need within the
community or they can contribute to local job creation.
