2 What is LMI? The West of England LEP believe that the delivery of, and access too, high quality Careers Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) is key to ensuring that young people and adults across the West of England are able to make informed career choices. Access to locally-informed and easy-to-understand Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) is often cited as a key barrier to providing high quality careers information to young people and adults alike. Packs can be found on: West of England LEP Website
