Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance
Through a well-structured and highly effective programme of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) we believe that all can achieve both in school and in adult life.
By working in partnership with external agencies, businesses and members of our community we will provide accurate and focussed careers information, advice and guidance tailored to the individual needs of our students, and thereby enable all of our students to make informed choices about their career pathways.

- Access to a planned careers programme relevant to their year group
- Access to a qualified, impartial and independent careers adviser for personalised guidance
- Access information about the world of work and labour market

- Be informed about how to make applications for the full range of academic and technical courses.
- Access to a curriculum rich in information about careers and the world of work.

Labour Market Information
What is Labour Market Information (LMI)?
LMI effectively describes the world of work – it ranges from descriptions of different careers, their entry routes, promotional prospects, salaries paid, skills and qualifications needed, etc.
Crucially for young people, LMI also covers future demand – what kinds of jobs will be in demand after leaving school and what kinds of skills will be needed.
Why is LMI Important to Our Students?
‘It is vital, in an environment where new industries are emerging and many of the most important jobs of the future don’t yet exist, that individuals have access to high-quality labour market information and earnings data to underpin their choices’. Anne Milton MP
Below is a wealth of information to support LMI and at the bottom of the page you can access an LMI Bulletin which we recieve about once a month.
Learning from Careers and Labour Market Information.
Understanding LMI is becoming more and more important as the world changes, so that all students can be aware of where different job roles that are needed around the country and what types of jobs may need more people in the future. Below is information on what LMI actually means.
