Labour Market Information

Our dedicated Careers Team keep abreast of changes to Labour Market Information (both regionally and nationally) to ensure that our students have access to up to date information, enabling them to make fully informed and considered choices.  

Below is a list of data sources and information that can be used to inform careers advice and decision making:

1. Unit for Future Skills’ Local Skills Dashboard – provides statistics on local employment and skills in England to support local skills planning and delivery (including local skills improvement plans).
2. National Careers Service – provides careers information, advice, and guidance to enable informed decisions at all stages of an individual’s career.
3. Skills for Careers – provides a single front door to information about skills training options and careers. The website guides users through government’s skills offer.
4. Employment and Employee Types (ONS) – provides information on employment rates (number of people in paid work as a proportion of the population) broken down by age and sex. Includes information on the number of people in employment and vacancies.
