Careers guidance

InspireU uses Labour Market Information (LMI) provides which valuable insights into the world of work. We use data from trusted sources like the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the National Careers Service (NCS) to show:

• Which industries are growing or declining
• What skills and qualifications employers are looking for
• Where the job opportunities are now—and in the future
• Typical salary expectations and working hours
• What a day in the life of a job might look like
• Available apprenticeships and career progression routes

Why LMI Matters

LMI helps learners, educators, and employers make smart decisions about careers and training. It supports:

• Career planning based on real opportunities
• CV writing and job searching tailored to current employer needs
• Vocational course design that reflects local demand
• Work experience placements that are aspirational and realistic

How InspireU Uses LMI

At InspireU, we use the latest LMI for the Lincolnshire area to guide:

• Which employers we invite to Careers Week
• Where we focus our Work Experience Programme
• Where we focus our Sprint learners careers journey

By using LMI, we help young people prepare for paid, sustained employment in sectors that are actively hiring - giving them the best chance to succeed.
