Ever wondered what jobs are actually out there in your area—or which careers are growing fast? Labour Market Information (LMI) is your inside guide to the world of work, helping you explore real opportunities in places like Leicestershire and beyond.

For example, in Leicestershire there’s strong demand in logistics and distribution, thanks to major employers like Amazon and DHL—so careers in warehouse management, driving, and supply chain are growing. The health and social care sector is also expanding, with roles in nursing, care work, and support services always in demand. If you’re into technology, the digital and creative industries are developing too, with opportunities in coding, game design, and digital marketing.

LMI shows you which jobs are on the rise, the skills employers are looking for, and what you could earn. It can help you decide which subjects to choose, whether an apprenticeship could suit you, or what steps to take after school.

Think of LMI as your career compass—helping you spot local opportunities, plan your future, and build the skills you’ll need to succeed in a fast-changing world of work.
