Labour Market Information
What is Labour Market Information?
Labour Market Information (LMI) helps learners understand the world of work and the opportunities available to them. It shows:
-
Which industries are growing in Clacton, Colchester, and North Essex
-
What skills local employers are looking for
-
What types of jobs are most accessible
-
How learners can plan their next steps into employment, training, or independence
For SEND learners, LMI supports confident decision-making. It helps families and professionals plan meaningful, achievable pathways.
