Context
E&EO (“Education & Employment Outlooks”) connects Canadian post-secondary credentials — diplomas, certificates, degrees — to the labour-market outlooks that follow them. It’s a free, public tool aimed at prospective students, career-changers, and the educators and counsellors who advise them.
The premise is simple: if you’re considering a credential, you should be able to see, in one place, what jobs it leads to, what those jobs typically pay, and what the regional outlook is.
Approach
The platform pulls structured data from Statistics Canada and the Government of Canada’s Labour Market Information feeds, normalizes it against credential metadata from participating institutions, and surfaces it in a clean, search-friendly UI. It descends from earlier work on the VIU Career Outlooks tool I built during my co-op, scaled to multiple institutions and provinces.
What you actually see
The interface is built around a simple question: what does this credential lead to? You start with a program or NOC code and the page resolves into the jobs typically held, regional outlooks, and employment trends — the data prospective students and career counsellors actually want to compare across credentials.
Status
BC institutions and credentials are live now. Expansion to the rest of Canada is rolling out through late 2026.
More coming
A full case study with the data architecture, scaling considerations, and lessons from running a public-facing site against government data feeds is being written. In the meantime — headline, scope, and stack are accurate. For specifics, book a call.
