Overview Your Views and Experience Group Discussions Key Research Findings and Good Practice Examples Plenary Discussion
Group Discussions Group A: What are the key barriers in advisers using and sharing career-related LMI with young people and adults? Group B: What sources of career-related LMI do advisers use with their clients and what do they find most helpful?
Stage One Research FindingsKey Barriers and Challenges • Adviserscan feel ‘overwhelmed’ by LMI and/or feel what is available is not relevant • Lack of accessible data/intelligence (particularly local LMI) • Lack of time in highly-targeted IAG delivery • Lack of initial training/CPD • Ineffective arrangements in regard to using/sharing LMI • Reductions in specialist staff/infrastructure
What works?Five key development areas 1. Vision and Strategy 2. Partnerships 3. Systems and Processes 4. Resources 5. Professional Practice
Stage Two Research FindingsGood Practice Solutions • Vision and Strategy (Focus on customer needs/progression - and so on enhancing operation of the labour market) • Partnerships (linking economic, employment, skills and career development agendas) • Systems and processes (including in identifying/researching , interpreting/sharing CLMI through intranets/meetings) • Resources (value added e-based and hard copy CLMI products) • Developing professional practice (e.g. observation, needs assessment, training/CPD and accreditation)
Plenary Discussion How can we best use and share career-related labour market information and intelligence? What impact does using LMI effectively have on both advisers and their customers?
