GB2: Learning from Labour Market Information
What is LMI?
LMI (Labour Markey Information) is pivotal to effective careers advice because high quality, impartial, current, expert knowledge about the labour market helps students to make informed choices.
LMI can help students to answer questions about course choice, self-employment, how much money could be earned in a particular job, where the local job vacancies can be found, what will the ‘hot jobs’ be when they leave education?
LMI can help to demystify the world of work and can help individuals achieve their career goals.
