Automotive and Mobility Sector Career Navigator for Young Learners and Young Professionals
Magnet partnered with the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network to enhance its Skills and Career Navigator by modernizing how labour market information is delivered to the automotive and mobility sector. The project focused on integrating real-time data, improving user experience, and strengthening career pathway visibility for young learners (12-18) and young professionals.
Magnet played a central role in:
- project management
- Led the design and enhancement of real-time, segment-specific LMI dashboards
- Developed and integrated job analysis tools to reflect evolving skills demands
- Refreshed and modernized career pathway content and user experience
- Operationalized Magnet’s LMI data warehouse to support dynamic data delivery
This work enabled a more responsive and scalable approach to delivering workforce intelligence and career navigation tools.
Problem Statement
The automotive and mobility sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by electrification, automation, and advanced manufacturing technologies. Despite growing demand for skilled talent, there are persistent gaps in awareness and understanding of modern career pathways—particularly among younger audiences. Existing tools and resources were not fully equipped to deliver real-time, relevant labour market insights or reflect the evolving nature of the sector. Without accessible and engaging digital infrastructure, employers and educators faced challenges in attracting, informing, and preparing the next generation of talent.
Solutions & Approach
Magnet led the enhancement of the Skills and Career Navigator through a digital-first approach that integrated real-time labour market intelligence with user-focused design. We developed dynamic dashboards tailored to specific segments of the automotive and mobility sector, enabling users to explore trends in skills demand, occupations, and workforce gaps. Job analysis tools were introduced to provide deeper insight into role requirements and emerging competencies. By leveraging our LMI data warehouse and focusing on usability, we delivered a platform that makes complex information accessible, interactive, and actionable.

The enhanced Navigator provides a modern, data-driven platform that improves how students, jobseekers, educators, and employers engage with career and labour market information. By delivering real-time insights and intuitive tools, the platform supports more informed career exploration and workforce planning. This project further demonstrates Magnet’s ability to design and deliver scalable digital solutions that align workforce intelligence with evolving industry needs.
