Labour Market Information
Labour Market Information (LMI), information on the world of work, allows us to gain knowledge and understanding on how the labour market functions. Such as reflecting upon what the future may have install and how this may impact upon certain jobs. Also, thinking about where certain jobs may be more prevalent, geographically wise.
It is important our pupils take into account LMI- thinking about which sectors are up and coming and which maybe in decline- this way they can think about which skills they may want to develop, to give them the best opportunity.
Career and LMI includes information on:
- skills, career pathways and progression routes in the local labour market;
- job applications and interviews;
- educational institutions, courses, qualifications, entry requirements and costs;
- professional bodies;
- employment sectors, employers, jobs, salaries and employment trends;
- jobs, training and apprenticeships;
- job demands and working life.
Throughout their time at Hummersknott, pupils will explore all of the above information within their lessons, form time and Life Skills days. As parents it can also be valuable for us to explore this information with our children, to help them prepare and make informed choices about their future.
