Labour Market Information

Labour Market Information (LMI) is a valuable tool for understanding the world of work and planning for the future. It provides clear, up-to-date insights into the jobs and industries that exist both locally and nationally, helping young people make informed and confident decisions about their education and career pathways.

By exploring LMI, you can discover:

The sectors, industries, and businesses that operate in a particular area
The types of jobs currently available and the number of vacancies
Which industries are expected to grow in the coming years
Typical pay levels and opportunities for career progression
The skills and qualifications employers are looking for, now and in the future
Patterns in how and where people travel for work

Understanding LMI helps you identify where future opportunities may lie, what skills are in demand, and how to best prepare for the changing job market. It’s an essential resource for anyone thinking about their next steps or exploring potential career options.
