Abstract
The idea underpinning LMI for All is to provide a comprehensive careers labour market information1 (LMI) database that links and opens up career-focused LMI. Its aim has been to optimise access to, and use of, core national data sources that can be used by developers to create websites and applications2 to support individuals make better decisions about learning and work. It has been created as an open data project, which supports the wider government agenda to encourage use and re-use of government data sets. LMI for All was funded by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) up to 2017 and is currently funded by the Department for Education.
The development of LMI for All service spanned a five-year period (2012-2017). During this time, the feasibility of developing a comprehensive career LMI data tool that exploits open data sources that can be mainstreamed into service provision has been demonstrated. The overall aims of the project have remained constant:
• To identify and investigate which robust sources of LMI can be used to inform the decisions people make about learning and work; and,
• To bring these sources together in an automated, single, accessible location (referred to as the LMI for All database), so that they can be used by developers to create websites and applications for career guidance purposes.
The purpose of this report is to document the progress of the LMI for All project during its fourth phase (2016-2017). The report details: the stakeholder engagement activities supporting the integration of LMI for All into careers practice and raising the profile of the LMI for All service offer; statistics on usage and users; LMI for All developments underway; technical developments supporting the service, including changes to the infrastructure; updates to a number of datasets; and, data developments (such as new data mappings and updates to the occupational structure. The report updates the material presented in the progress report for the project during its third phase (2015- 2016) (available at: http://www.lmiforall.org.uk/wp- content/uploads/2015/07/LMI_for_All_Final_report_v020715-for-website.pdf) and highlights new developments.
