Just how important is LMI to governments and why? Should those with an interest in guidance work celebrate this enthusiasm for LMI or view it with suspicion? What do you think?
This discussion item is linked to LMI and policy
LMI is of demonstrable interest to government - as the Leitch Review of 2006 makes clear. Leitch recommends the establishment of a new, universal careers service for England that places 'labour market focused' advice at its heart. It recommends the formation in England of a new universal adult careers service, learning from those elsewhere in the UK, providing a universal source of labour market focused, accessible careers advice for adults.

Should those with an interest in guidance work celebrate this enthusiasm for LMI or view it with suspicion? What do you think? |

Vocational Education needs LMI but it would be a shame to totally kill education for its own sake | Discussion Topic | 0 replies | 08-February-2008 | Roxine Beaumont-Sempill |
It will be a shame if IAG is totally hijacked by 'labour market focus'
I feel that there will always be a value in people undertaking learning for its own sake/for personal development. Probably most people will be interested in undertaking a learning pathway that leads to employment. LMI will be a vital context for all of those. But suspicion is probably healthy if it protects those for whom education might provide a less obvious route to a fulfilling future.
