In detail
By the age of 14, all pupils should have accessed and used information about career paths and the labour market to inform their own decisions on study options.
Parents should be encouraged to access and use information about labour markets and future study options to inform their support to their children.
An important part of choosing a career path for the future is knowing which jobs are available and how many jobs in that sector there are now and are likely to be in the future. This is where Labour Market Information (LMI) is important.

What skills employers are looking for and which are in short supply
How much you can expect to be paid in specific jobs
