LMI for All: a glimpse into the future Professor Jenny Bimrose Institute for Employment Research University of Warwick
LMI for careers …… • What LMI do clients need (and when)? • What do practitioners need to know? • Where can relevant LMI be found? • How do we know it’s high quality?
Data Quality • Who has produced the LMI? • For what purpose? • How was it collected? • How were the LMI data disaggregated/classified? • Is it up-to-date? Overall - is the LMI fit for purpose?
LMI for Careers Guidance • Identify (what’s required?) • Retrieve (which sources?) • Interpret (what does it mean?) • Collate(from different sources) • Disseminate(who is the target?) • Mediate(sense making)
LMI for All To develop a careers LMI data tool that supports individuals make better decisions about learning and work • requiring access to, and use of, core national data sources
Objectives • IDENTIFY: robust sources of LMI to inform decisions about learning and work • COLLATE: sources in an automated, single, accessible location for careers • FACILITATE: easy use of LMI data in conjunction with other data sources • EVALUATE: relevance of the data tool with key stakeholders
Data sources Consultations with data providers and stakeholders: • Office for National Statistics [ASHE, LFS, Census of Population] - finding ways of publishing detailed estimates • Devolved nations - statistical agencies • BIS, DfE, & other bodies – access to data on education and training courses • DWP - access to detailed data on vacancies by occupation • Eurostat, Cedefop, etc. – access to European data • Other data providers
Indicators • Pay(estimates based on a combination of ASHE and LFS) • Employment(Working Futures estimates based on LFS, BRES, etc) • Unemployment(LFS) • Occupational descriptions (ONS) • Vacancies(DWP/Monster) • Skills (O*NET) • Courses(details to be determined) LMI SOURCES
Data options to be explored for possible inclusion in Phase 2b

Hack day feedback Career stakeholders • Apps addressed different audiences, their learning styles and data needs • Data mashing was most appealing to ‘judges’ • Potential to use on different devices • Future potential confirmed
Phase 2A Modding day Apps to be taken forward Combination of apps to address different profiles of potential users, including: • JobQuest • JobBungee/On Demand • LMI everywhere widget
Early adopters • Access has now been provided to selected developers • Purpose – to understand what creative applications will emerge • Two interfaces are publicly available, others are working towards launch
Can be used along side other, qualitative information… E.g. icould Data alongside career videos to encourage and inspire young people to think broadly about their careers
…For a wide range of audiences E.g. RCU data dashboard A summary dashboard presenting information on the current and future Employment demand for UK occupations to link LMI to a curriculum strategy http://rcultd.co.uk/wf/
…In a variety of contexts E.g. Career Trax http://career-trax.herokuapp.com Temporary extension shows Career Trax embedded in the ‘Right Move’ website
Next steps • Integration of more data, including: • Short-term - Course data; Job vacancy data • Long-term - More on skills & abilities (O*NET); European data • Development of advanced search • Development of tracking and statistics FINAL LAUNCH: MARCH 2015
Retrospective versus Prospective • Development of applications so far – provide a glimpse into the future! • EU Skills are potential uses of the LMI for All database……….
