Your third year is the final step within the Key Stage Three journey and requires you to also consider your digital identity in relation to your mental health, skills development and career. There will also be a focus on pay and the legal deductions to support you in understanding your actual earnings and disposable income. 

You will be making your options choices in this year, so the required grades and skills for your chosen career path will be a key focus. 

Labour Market information

Labour Market Information is information relating to the world of work, employment trends, job roles and job availability. It is used to enable people to make decisions about education, jobs or training.  LMI will impact which career, training, skills or education you wish to take.

Researching labour market information will help you answer the following questions.

• How many jobs are there? How many in my area? What are the past trends? What are likely future trends?

• How much do people get paid for this job? How much at the start of their career? How much in my area?

• What level of qualification do people have in this job and what am I likely to need?

• How many vacancies are there for this job? What proportion of people in this occupation are currently out of work?
