▪ Our mission is to use data to drive economic prosperity.

▪ To do this, we inform and connect three critical audiences:

▪ People (who are looking for good work)

▪ Employers (who are looking for good people)

▪ Educators (who are looking to build good study pathways and

engage students).

Emsi’s New Data Frontiers

▪Anchored to structural labour data

▪ BUT…..

▪An employer is more than an industry code

▪An employee is more than an occupation code

▪ Your work is what you know, what you do, and how you do it.

▪ It is not your job title or job description or ANZSOC code
