Labour Market Information
Labour Market Information (LMI) is a useful tool to help research future jobs in the local area, understand the skills needed for certain roles and the demand for future employment.
Why is Labour Market Information Important to Young People?
LMI helps to break down the complex ‘world of work’– ranging from descriptions of different careers, their entry routes, promotional prospects, salaries paid, skills and qualifications needed, etc. Crucially for young people, LMI also covers future demand – what kinds of jobs will be in demand after leaving school and what kinds of skills will be needed.
LMI stands for Labour Market Information, which is the knowledge and understanding of how the labour market functions1.
LMI is important and useful because it can help individuals to
- Explore the world of work and their career goals
- Make sense of changing economic circumstances
- Anticipate future trends and opportunities
- Receive effective Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG)
