Local Labour Market Information
Our employer-led Local Skills Improvement Plan identified five priority sectors where businesses, educators, training partners and key stakeholders are working to close skills gaps.
To support this, we have commissioned resources for students and staff highlighting some of the roles, challenges and opportunities in each sector, plus Hospitality and Catering, in this part of London:
- Construction LMI (pdf)
- Creative and Digital LMI (pdf)
- Health and Social Care LMI (pdf)
- Hospitality and Catering LMI (pdf)

The London LMI platform will support your students on their journey to the world of work, to make their best next step and be employment ready.
The student-friendly content, lesson resources and data insights help schools and colleges to accelerate their journey towards the Gatsby benchmarks.
