Labour Market Information (LMI)
Labour Market Information (LMI) helps students and families understand what jobs exist, what skills employers are looking for, and how different industries are changing. It includes information such as job growth, salary ranges, qualification requirements and the skills that are in demand locally and nationally.
Access to LMI helps students make informed decisions about subject choices, post-16 pathways and future careers. It allows them to explore which sectors are growing, understand the qualifications needed for different roles and see how their interests and strengths could connect to real opportunities in the future. For parents and carers, LMI can also support meaningful conversations at home about career aspirations and progression routes.
Students and parents can regularly access Labour Market Information through Unifrog, where students explore career profiles and pathways as part of our careers programme. We also share updates and insights through our weekly careers newsletter, helping families stay informed about trends, opportunities and events.
Below you will find two interactive tools that allow students and parents to explore national labour market trends and the skills that employers are currently looking for. These tools provide up-to-date information about growing industries, emerging careers and the skills that will be valuable in the future.
