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

Using Labour Market Information Effectively within IAG
On-line module for practice

To give you a bit of context, the overall aim of the module is ‘To develop the ability to access, understand and manipulate Labour Market Information (LMI) as part of effective career guidance.'  It is planned that this module will address the following themes - though please note that the structure may evolve in response to your feedback:

1. The nature of LMI and its role in career guidance
2. The changing labour market: key issues for guidance
3. LMI for guidance: locating sources
4. LMI for guidance: choosing between sources
5. Different approaches to using LMI as part of the career guidance process

The example that you can link to here, The Practitioner's LMI Competency Audit is just one small part of the module.  It is intended to allow you to reflect on what you already know in relation to LMI and what you might need to know.  

Please remember this is work in progress! Ultimately a user will be able to save their responses to this 'audit' in their own personalised web-space, and reflect on what action needs to be taken to address any areas for development.  At the moment, your answers will not be saved, so you may wish to print out your work if you would like to keep it.

At this stage it would be really helpful if you could:
