Labour Market Information
LMI effectively describes the world of work – ranging from descriptions of different careers, their entry routes, promotional prospects, salaries paid, skills and qualifications needed, etc. Crucially for young people, LMI also covers future demand – what kinds of jobs will be in demand after leaving school and what kinds of skills will be needed?
‘It is vital, in an environment where new industries are emerging and many of the most important jobs of the future don’t yet exist, that individuals have access to high-quality labour market information and earnings data to underpin their choices’. Anne Milton MP
LMI can be found from a variety of sources such as:
Careers Websites: National Careers Service, CareerPilot, Apprenticeship Guide
Research Publications: Working Futures, World Economic Forum, Economic Intelligence Unit
A copy of the The 'Life, University and Everything', 'To Infinity, Choices and Beyond' and Law guides can be collected from the Careers Office, found in Student Services.
