Parents

Careers advice is not just for our students. As Parents / Carers you play a vital role in supporting your child with their next steps. Therefore, you need to be fully equipped with the most up to date and relevant careers and labour market information (LMI). Having this careers knowledge will allow you to help and support your child to make tough and challenging decisions about their futures.

Labour Market Information (LMI)

LMI refers to the data we receive about jobs and industries that helps us understand the economy. It provides an overview of growth areas in industry, patterns relating to employment and salaries. LMI information is available at a national, regional and local level. 

Our region is home to a huge variety of businesses and organisations, which means young people have a lot of choice when it comes to their career path.
