LMI Institute Mission and Vision Pre-eminent resource for supporting the development, interpretation, and use of labor market information Mission Supports and promotes the production and use of high- quality workforce and employment information. We want to kick today off by sharing with you all the Institute’s Vision and Mission. The LMI Institute’s vision states that it is the pre-eminent resource for supporting the development, interpretation, and use of labor market information. The Institute mission states that it supports and promotes the production and use of high-quality workforce and employment information. We accomplish this mission by: Providing training and professional development to state and other LMI professionals. Improving the knowledge, skills, and understanding of LMI customers. Offering management, staffing, and coordination to support the nationwide LMI infrastructure. Fostering and encouraging the use of local, state, and national LMI in decision-making related to workforce development, economic development, education, and other relevant policy areas. In so doing, we are guided by the following principles: The Institute recognizes that the states must play a primary role as leaders and developers of local, state, and national labor market information within a nationwide network. The Institute is committed to the development of and the provision of access to high quality, unbiased, reliable labor market information. The Institute actively pursues an understanding of user needs and integrates that understanding in the development, production, and delivery of labor market information products. The Institute serves as a central node for a network of data producers, users, and intermediaries – bringing them together to collaborate, educate, innovate, and lead. The Institute promotes professional excellence to improve the quality of the LMI created and the analysis of that information, including guidance about the most appropriate interpretation and application of LMI. The Institute conducts all its activities in a respectful, cooperative, courteous, and inclusive manner.
