Information about Labour Markets
LMI
What is it?
What role does it play?
![Page 9: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Labour Market InformationDATA about: general employment trends
(i.e. unemployment rates; skills gaps; future demand)
the structure of the labour market (i.e. what jobs exist, how many, which sectors)
the way the labour market functions (i.e. how people get into jobs & move between employers)
focusing on equality and diversity (i.e. which individuals are employed in different sectors, at what levels/pay?)
![Page 10: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Labour Market Information the interaction between labour demand &
supply (i.e. mismatches – unemployment, skill shortages)
national, regional and local labour market variations (i.e. size of workforce, prominent sectors, etc.)
progression routes (i.e. career structure, earnings, transferability of skills, etc.)

Because of this complexity:
Role of LMI in career guidance is variable across countries
Even within countries, variations exist across different operational contexts
LMI: Pivotal or Peripheral?

Career management skills are central Means enabling individuals to ‘understand
how the labour market works’, through: My World of Work (website) Scottish Labour Market Information & Intelligence

The Employability & Skills Division of the Dept. for Educn. & Skills within the Welsh Government:
Tasked to communicate intelligent & analysed LM Intelligence to better align supply/demand Major review – with services moving into a new
stage of web-development LMI (information & intelligence) forms key part of
this strategy
LMI: Wales

New career strategy noted the importance of access to LMI for users of the Careers Service (DEL & DE, 2011).
Website comprises job profiles, links to employer bodies, JobCentre Online NI, links to vacancies locally & across Europe
Access to LMI – enables improved understanding of education & employment opportunities

LMI is part of modernising the delivery of services, with a focus around the skills agenda:
Jobcentre Plus - Transforming Labour Market Services (TLMS)
National Careers Service website, with telephone guidance services – LMI central
LMI 4 All – UKCES commissioned the development of a data tool for careers

‘The knowledge and application of CLMI (career and labour market information) is a core part of a career professional’s competencies and central to ensuring young people and adults are provided
with a high-quality service’.

LMI: Role in decision-making
Traditionally, career decision-making has been regarded as
a rational, linear process:
Information gathering Analysis Making a choice
i.e. the ‘matching approach’ to guidance
![Page 25: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Matching at the heart?Matching assumes a degree of stability in the labour market:
‘Trying to place an evolvingperson into the
changing work environment ... is like trying to hit a butterfly with a
boomerang’ (p.263)
Ref: Mitchell, L.K. & Krumboltz, J.D. (1996) ‘Krumboltz’s learning theory of career choice and counseling’, in Brown, D., Brooks, L. & Associates (Eds) Career Choice and Development (3rd Ed), San Francisco, California, Jossey Bass.

Alternatives to matchingRange from: Unmediated: give clients/students direct
access to high quality LMI Developmental: LMI adapted for different
stages Empowerment: encourage clients/students to use LMI to support a broader process of personal growth Learning: use LMI for specific purposes
(e.g. challenge misconceptions)
![Page 27: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Most LMI research focuses on usability of products: Readability; Accuracy of information; Ease of access; Amount of use; Focused on students, not adults

LMI: research evidence?
![Page 28: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Unanswered questions:
How do individual clients use LMI?
To what extent does assistance by a service provider enhance the effective use of LMI by individuals?
To what extent is independent self-help a sufficient process for clients to use LMI effectively?
LMI: research evidence
![Page 29: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Research evidence:
access to expert knowledge & information was regarded as critical to effective career guidance (Bimrose et al., 2008);
necessary for career professionals to support information seeking behaviour (Vilhjálmsdóttir et al., 2011);
LMI: career practice
![Page 30: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Tailored LMI embedded in a learning process most powerful
LMI appropriate for client’s specific need (not general LMI) appears to support engagement & action
Structure & timelines appear to motivate action and create a sense of progress
Giving clients hands-on tools appears to be best motivator
For many, a little (or no) professional support is adequate
(Ref: Hiebert, B. (2010) Assessing the Impact of LMI: Preliminary Results of Phase Two (Field Tests). CRWG)
LMI: Clients
![Page 31: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Classification of occupations Insufficient detail for some occupations Lack of standardisation of data Inconsistent data Insufficient sample sizes Inability to disaggregate to the required
level Skewed vacancy data Local LMI (expertise in building employer
networks needs to be re-established)
LMI: challenges
![Page 32: LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI) IN CAREER GUIDANCE: PIVOTAL OR PERIPHERAL? Jenny Bimrose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681614b550346895dd0cdff/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Pivotal!
Key differentiator:
makes career guidance distinctfrom other helpingprofessions
LMI: Pivotal or Peripheral?
