Labor Market Supply and Demand in the Northern Triangle: Leveraging Data to Build an Efficient Labor Market
The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), U. S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department, or we), announces the availability of approximately $4 million total costs for one or more cooperative agreements to fund a technical assistance project(s) in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to improve
labor market efficiency and performance.
The project intends to improve labor market efficiency by assisting governments in all three countries develop labor market information (LMI) systems that publish reliable, comprehensive, and current LMI in user-friendly formats.
The LMI systems are expected to:
1) enable educational and workforce training providers to help job-seekers and youth develop in-demand job skills, 2) help businesses more easily identify and hire qualified workers, and 3) enable governments to craft effective labor market policies.
The project will also support LMI systems that generate data that are comparable across all three countries.
The applicant must work with the official statistical agency in each country on the collection and validation of data and with those or other agencies on the analysis and dissemination of LMI, as appropriate for each country context.
