Labour market information
What is Labour Market Information (LMI)?
LMI simply explains the world of work. LMI provides descriptions of different careers, their entry routes, promotional prospects, salaries paid, and the necessary skills and qualifications needed to pursue a career within that industry.
Crucially for young people, LMI also covers future demand, and identifies what types of jobs will be in demand after leaving school and what kinds of skills will be needed.
