Making Sense of the Labour Market

Labour Market Information (LMI) is essentially data about current and future job trends, including graduate destinations, average starting salaries, in demand skills and recruitment patterns. Good quality, up to date LMI is important for anyone making career related decisions and looking to futureproof your career prospects.

LMI can help you to research:

• What job opportunities are out there for you
• What jobs will be in demand in the future
• What qualifications and skills you will need

LMI can also help you to:

• Show future employers your commercial awareness and understanding of the sector you want to enter, employers often comment that applicants can lack this knowledge.
• Answer interview questions about the sector and where you see yourself developing in the future.
