What more might be done to deliver high-quality, up-to-date relevant LMI and course information to adults and young people?
Join the discussion about this question below, or make your own contribution to the consultation on the IAG Review website What more might be done to deliver high-quality, up-to-date relevant LMI and course information to adults and young people? The summary of responses (total 48) from the IAG website as of the 30 June 2006, suggest that in relation to Labour Market Information: All respondents accept the central importance of LMI for effective guidance. Two strong themes emerged from responses: first, the need for local labour market information; and second the need for national LMI, centrally collected and maintained. Two examples of good practice are provided. Improvements suggested to current systems include: a contract requirement to collect and disseminate local LMI; dedicated specialist staff to perform this function; central collation of national LMI; standards (template) for presentation of all LMI; sector seminars for careers advisers; the involvement of Education Business Partnerships; and a ‘toolkit’ to support clients researching their own LMI. |
