  1. Impact of LMI Delivery Modes on Displaced Auto Workers in Southwestern Ontario A presentation for HRSDC by Denise Ghanam Ghanam Consulting Inc.

  2. Research Design • Comprehensive interview & survey project • 188 survey respondents • Pre-test and one, four, & twelve month surveys • Delivered customized LMI in group, one-to-one or control (no custom LMI) after pre-test • 27 one-month & 6 twelve-month interviews • Reviewed self-efficacy and outcome changes comparing treatment to control

  3. Customized LMI Package • General info on LMI and its uses • Skills identification and transfer • Use of sites geared towards manufacturing related work • Strong value of interpreted LMI • Positive feedback on package

  4. Model for the Research Design

  5. Key Research Question • Does the provision of customized LMI (developed for displaced workers focused on labour mobility to new growth sectors) change displaced workers job related self-efficacy? (H1) • Tested null hypothesis with control group

  6. Quantitative Findings • Key findings for each hypothesis • Results supported project objectives • Still difficult to completely isolate exact customized LMI impact, but strong findings of influence on self-efficacy and increased job-seeking behaviours • Not as strong a tie to job outcomes, but still valuable

  7. JRSE Control vs Treatment

  8. CDMSE Treatments Types

  9. JSSE Treatment Types

  10. Qualitative Findings • Positive support for the development of customized LMI • Delivery modes dependant on client needs • Group delivery more valued in reinforcing job-seeking behaviours and more residual impact • One-to-one had more influence on career development choices and behaviours

  11. Limitations of this Research • Field work in one sector/locale may influence applicability of results to other areas/sectors • Sample size somewhat limits reliability of findings • Attrition rates and one-time delivery of LMI reduce learnings on longer term impacts • Sample demographics may limit transferability to other populations

  12. Key Implications for Field Study • Value of customized LMI for each sector • Timing of LMI delivery (how soon after job loss) • Mandatory communication of research opportunities by agencies funded by federal & provincial governments • Incentive (value and use to prevent attrition)

  13. Key Implications for LMI Delivery • “Service passport” to avoid duplication of LMI training efforts • Emphasis on group counseling for job-seekers (in person and social media) • Computer literacy training • Specific needs of older workers • Employers – skills inventories

  14. Implications for Future Research • Expand study to larger samples (using alternate populations of displaced workers) • Focus more directly on the impact of ambient job announcements on job seeker behaviour and self efficacy • Research on an optimal time frame for LMI • Further investigation into the value of formal and informal group support
