Careers - Labour Market Information

Labour Market Information (LMI) is a useful tool to help young people research future jobs in the local area, understand the skills needed for individual roles and the demand for future employment.

Descriptions of individual careers
Entry requirements for each route
Promotional prospects
Paid salaries

The LMI further covers the future demand of the job, it looks at where the industry will be in a couple of years and what new skills will be needed.
