Labour Market Information

What Is Labour Market Information

Labour Market Information (LMI) is information about the job market that can help students and their parents understand the market and which careers the different qualifications can lead to.

What Information Might Be Included?

The LMI would include information such as:

which skills are higher in demand in your local area
percentage of graduates who return to the area for employment
the three key sectors for graduate opportunities
high demand in which non-graduate roles
what are the main soft skills employers are looking for
which technical-level jobs are more prevalent in your local area
how many people travel into your local area to work vs travel out

Why Is LMI Important?

LMI is important for students to see what kind of jobs are anticipated to be in demand in the future and what skills they might need.

Allowing students and parents to access information about pathways, and courses, understanding market trends and showing alumni pathways enables them to make informed and positive choices and be confident in their transition from school.
