Labour Market Information

Understanding the local labour market information

It is important for every student, parent and carer to be aware of and make use of Labour Market Information. This can help to prepare students for decisions on future study and potential job sectors. LMI is updated regularly and shows trends and opportunities to support students in a successful future career.

Due to the relative size of Telford and Wrekin, it is useful for students to be aware of the LMI in Shropshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands.
