Job Seekers and Employers will benefit immensely from the newly developed Ghana Labour Market Information System (GLMIS) after it is launched later this year.
The platform which applies advance technology will transform the labour market by providing real – time information on Ghana labour market, trends and skills required by the market.
This was disclosed by the Deputy Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, Mr. Bright Wireko Brobbey at a day’s media sensitization and awareness creation workshop in Accra.
He said that the GLMIS will serve as a comprehensive repository of labour – related data, which will also change the way labour market information is accessed, analysed and disseminated.
According to Mr. Wireko Brobbey, the MELR is committed to ensuring the timely implementation of the GLMIS, with plans for full functionality later this year.
A presentation by the Project Consultant, Mr. Amoako Bonbi Kakra Asante on the GLMIS shows that after the official launch of the GLMIS, all that Job Seekers and Employers need to do in order to use the GLMIS is to register an account which is for free.
He also disclosed that the project has made provision for uneducated job seekers who cannot use the platform. They are to patronize the Labour Department, and the Public Employment Centres nationwide to register on the GLMIS. Alternatively, Labour Vans will be used to reach out to the Districts and Regions to facilitate the process.
The World Bank funded Ghana Labour Market Information System (GLMIS) was developed under the Component 3 of the Ghana Jobs and Skills Project.
On the GLMIS, job seekers will have the opportunity to create detailed profiles of themselves, showcasing their qualifications, skills, and employment preferences. This will enable them to present a comprehensive picture of their capabilities to potential employers.
The GLMIS will also make use of advanced systems to match job seekers with suitable employment opportunities, based on their skills, qualifications, and preferences. This will significantly reduce the time and effort involved in the job search process, fostering better outcomes for both job seekers and employers.
In the case of the employers, the GLMIS will provide them access to an extensive pool of qualified candidates. By registering and uploading job vacancies, employers can outline the required qualifications, skills and other relevant details to attract the right candidates who are aligned to their institutional needs. This streamlined process will enhance the efficiency of recruitment and selection, leading to improved productivity and growth in both the public and private sectors.
The ultimately goal is that, the GLMIS will provide real – time information on the Ghana labour market, emerging trends, in – demand skills, and training opportunities. Hence, job seekers can utilize this valuable data to make inform decisions regarding skills development and career choices leading to increase employability and competitiveness in the job market. Employers can also observe the evolving labour market dynamics to adapt their talent strategies and invest in skill areas that are in high demand.
The GLMIS is equipped with accessibility features such as text – to – speech functionality, adjustable fonts sizes and contracts and keyboard navigation due to the Inputs from a similar stakeholder engagement this year. This is to ensure that Persons with Disabilities are able to access and utilize the system effectively.
