LMI describes the condition of the labour market, past and present, as well as future projections. It makes clear:
- where work opportunities are increasing or decreasing
- what occupations exist
- what you need to study to become a professional in that occupation
- what is required to take up an occupation
- how one can find a job, change job or progress in a career.
Lymm High students receive LMI on a weekly basis as part of their careers form time activity.
