LMI-Learning - Labour Market Information - Online Learning Modules - NGRF

I work for Skillset, the Sector Skills Council for the audio-visual industries.  Skillset is also a Pathfinder SSC and is one of the participating SSCs in the project.  We have run numerous workshops for careers advisors (some of you will know us!) and we work closely with IER to help advisors navigate LMI and interpret it to enhance the service they offer to clients.  Evaluation from all (sector specific) workshops has shown that advisors are really keen to know more and to know about the sources of LMI.  So through IER, all SSCs in the project are developing the sectoral LMI on this website - Pathfinder LMI should be up there soon, up-to-date and comprehensive!!

Through this project we are also building on our previous workshop model and rolling it out with the three other Pathfinders through a series of regional workshops to be held from April to September.  This is a model that SSCs across the Skills for Business Network will be able to use and develop for their own sectors.  Government has also recognised the importance of LMI within the planned revisions to the IAG infrastructure for adults.  Again we have worked with IER to research sources of LMI - and highlight its limitations - and the IAG Review Group (overseeing this part of the Skills Strategy reforms) will be looking at the whole area of LMI in the coming months.   Any feedback you would like to provide will be warmly welcomed as we will be refining the workshop delivery as we go along.  Reply here or contact me on annm@skillset.org.  Would love to hear from you.
