Labour Market Information

Labour Market Information (LMI) are facts about current and future job trends.

It can be local, regional, or national. Use our LMI resources to inform and support career decisions.

The importance of LMI to you and your students

Keeping up to date with what’s happening in the labour market is important for anyone making career related decisions. LMI should play a key role in careers education. You and your students should be aware of:

  • What job opportunities are out there for them
  • The jobs that will be in demand in the future
  • What qualifications and skills they'll need
  • How to prepare for an ever changing job market

Professional learning

Labour Market Information is an important part of careers and work-related experiences (CWRE). We have developed a resource which gives you an introduction to LMI and is available on Hwb. It explains what LMI is, why it is important, how to use it and where to find it.
