LMI for All: a glimpse into the future
Professor Jenny Bimrose
Institute for Employment ResearchUniversity 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 AllTo 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
ObjectivesIDENTIFY: 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
Process of development: Dynamic/Iterative
Data
Accessibility & Open Data
Stakeholders & Communication
Data sourcesConsultations with data providers and stakeholders:Office for National Statistics [ASHE, LFS, Census of
Population] - finding ways of publishing detailed estimatesDevolved nations - statistical agencies BIS, DfE, & other bodies – access to data on education and
training courses DWP - access to detailed data on vacancies by occupationEurostat, Cedefop, etc. – access to European dataOther 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)
Theme Relevance Source
Employment levels by occupation
•How many jobs are there? How many in my area?•What are the past trends?•What are likely future trends?
Labour Force Survey, Working Futures
Average earnings by occupation
•How much do people get paid for this job? How much at the start of their career? How much in my area?
Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings
Unemployment by occupation
•What proportion of people in this occupation are currently out of work?
Annual Population Survey
Profile of qualification level by occupation
•What level of qualification do people have in this job and what am I likely to need?
Labour Force Survey, Working Futures
Vacancies by occupation
•How many vacancies are there for this job? What proportion are hard to fill?
Employer Skills Survey
Data in Phase 2a
Additional source Relevance
Universal Job Match What vacancies are available for particular jobs?
Higher Education Statistics Agency destinations survey
Which HE courses / subjects lead to particular jobs?
FE course data What local course provision is available that links to particular jobs?
O*NET •What interests, skills, knowledge, abilities are needed to do a particular job?•What tasks are involved?
Data options to be explored for possible inclusion in Phase 2b
Innovative approach to LMI for careers
Working from the
data
Harnessing
developers’
perspectives
Challenges the
traditional paradigms
Stakeholders & communication: Phase 2B
Testing technical aspects(2nd iteration of Hack and Modding days)
Testing with end-users(three workshops and conference)
Stakeholders & communication: Phase 2B
Conference
End-userWorkshop

End-userWorkshop
Developers’ briefing
• 11 client cases• Ages/ stagesVignettes
• ICT integration• LMI wish listQuestionnaire
Hack Day: 12th March 2013
10 developers • Open process
7 applications • 4 selected: 2 merged
9 careers representatives • Briefed & judged
Hack day feedback
Career stakeholders Apps addressed different audiences, their learning styles
and data needsData mashing was most appealing to ‘judges’Potential to use on different devicesFuture potential confirmed
Phase 2A Modding day
Apps to be taken forwardCombination of apps to address different profiles of potential users, including:JobQuestJobBungee/On DemandLMI 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
32
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

…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 dataLong-term - More on skills & abilities (O*NET); European
dataDevelopment of advanced searchDevelopment 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……….
