The NGRF website has moved to a new home on the University of Warwick website.  As part of the move we are reviewing and updating the content.  25 sectors have been updated in LMI Future Trends using the latest labour market information from the Sector Skills Councils and key resources such as Working Futures 2007-2017 (which takes into account the recent economic climate), the latest Employer Skills Survey 2009 and the 2009 UK Employment and Skills Almanac.  This LMI is now available to use.  The Making Guidance More Effective section is currently under review and will reflect new policy and practice.  As part of the redevelopment, the LMI learning module is being revised and revamped to not only include new data sources that are available, but to also take advantage of new technologies.  Watch out as new content will be coming online shortly.
