Labour market information and its use to inform the career guidance of young people
The Gatsby Foundation supported IER with this research which aimed to explore the supply of labour market information (LMI) and labour market intelligence (LMI+) in England, to understand sources and identify gaps in both underlying data sources and the provision or dissemination of information. The study focused on LMI and LMI+ aimed at intermediaries (i.e., careers education professionals, educators, parents/carers) and young people at secondary school and in further education, with a focus on technician careers. This desk based study provided a comprehensive overview of the LMI landscape in England and mapped its components. An LMI and LMI+ assessment matrix was also developed and used to evidence and assess sources. The review was extended to include interviews with LMI and LMI+ suppliers and experts from the UK and internationally.
