Labour Market Information (LMI) is information about the current economic and employment situation. It includes data on local employment and opportunities.
Research shows that when students have multiple encounters with employers whilst in school, they have more motivation to study harder, there is an increase in academic attainment, and they are less likely to become NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) as young adults.
There is a website called We are Northampton, which amongst other things, highlights all the key sectors within the county.
