LMI for guidance: Choosing between sources

LMI for guidance: choosing between sources

Go There

You already know the crucial importance of high quality, reliable labour market information (LMI) for effective advice and guidance. There is no shortage of websites and other sources claiming to offer authoritative LMI for all sorts of sectors. You don't want your clients to miss out on all this extra intelligence, but how do you know which LMI to trust?

Recognising that more information isn't always better, this section of the website is concerned with helping you critique LMI sources for yourself. Become more confident in stating 'what's hot and what's not' in relation to LMI sources, and being able to state why!
