• By the age of 14, all students will be given the opportunity to access and use information about all career paths and the labour market to inform their own decisions on study options.

• During their study programme all students will be given the opportunity to access and use information about all career paths and the labour market to inform their own decisions about study options.

LMI helps students explore and investigate key aspects of a particular area of employment.

• The sectors, industries and businesses that operate in the local area.

• The jobs that exist

• The number and type of vacancies available

• The sectors and the industries that are predicted to grow and increase in the coming years.

• Travel to work routes

• The kind of skills that are/will be needed by industries and businesses

• Pay and progression routes.

Interpreting and narrowing down LMI that is applicable to a young person’s needs can become overwhelming, it is therefore better to start researching areas of interest and concentrate on those industries.
