Labour Market Information

Labour Market Information or LMI usually refers to data found in tables, spreadsheets, maps, graphs, charts, reports and newspaper articles, or it may exist informally and anecdotally.

It can tell us:

• Where jobs are currently located
• The current size of industrial sectors and changes which might be expected in coming years
• Where there are shortages or oversupply of potential employees and skills
• The hours and wages that can be realistically expected
• The skills employers are seeking
• Entry routes into jobs, careers and sectors

At Cottingham, we use a range of online platforms to ensure that our students have access to the most up-to-date career and labour market information.

Logonmoveon is a careers portal that brings together all local education, training and apprenticeship opportunities in one place. Students can use the portal to research, plan and apply for education and training opportunities. In addition to this, the portal contains lots of useful labour market information, careers resources and information to support your journey towards post 16 and post 18 options.
