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

Raycom

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 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

Challenges the

traditional paradigms

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 adoptersAccess has now been provided to selected

developersPurpose – to understand what creative

applications will emergeTwo 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 audiencesE.g. RCU data dashboard

…In a variety of contextsE.g. Career Trax http://career-trax.herokuapp.com

Next stepsIntegration 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……….

Commitment to disseminate to a broad audience of practice
