Ontario. Ministry of Education and Training. Labour Market Policy, Planning and Research Branch

• Labour Market Policy, Planning and Research Branch

• Policy, Coordination and Research Branch

• Research and Planning Branch

• Information Management and Strategy Branch

Economics and Labour Market Research was the responsibility of the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board. When OTAB ceased to exist in 1996, the functions of this unit were integrated into the Ministry of Education and Training, Labour Market Policy, Planning and Research Branch. In turn, when the education ministry was reorganized in 1999, the Labour Market Policy, Planning and Research Branch was transferred to the new Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. In 2003 the name was changed to Policy, Coordination and Research Branch, and in 2007 was renamed the Labour Market Policy Branch. A year later, in 2008, the branch was renamed again to the Research and Planning Branch, and in 2018 to the Information Management and Strategy Branch. In 2019 the Information Management and Strategy Branch was moved to the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development.

The Labour Market Policy, Planning and Research Branch was responsible for the development of labour market and training policy for Ontario. The Branch provided the Ministry of Education and Training with policy development, analysis and coordination support; conducted planning, research and evaluation with respect to labour market and training matters; conducted local board liaison; and managed relations with the federal government and other provinces for labour market issues including labour mobility.
