Labour Market Information

Using Labour Market Information (LMI) at UAH

At UAH, we ensure your post-16 pathway is informed by understanding the Labour Market Information (LMI)—the data that tells you where the jobs are and which skills are in demand, both locally and nationally. By linking your studies and career plans to LMI, you make choices that lead to successful employment.

The Local Employment Landscape: LMI & Vocational Links

Our curriculum is strategically designed so that our Vocational and Technical Qualifications (including T-Levels and other Level 2/3 courses) directly align with the key high-growth sectors in South Lincolnshire and the wider region.

Local Growth Sector (LMI)	Relevant UAH Vocational Qualification	Local Demand & Roles
Construction & Skilled Trades 🧱	Plumbing, Electrical, Joinery, Brickwork, and T-Level Construction	Extremely high demand for qualified tradespeople and supervisors across domestic and commercial projects, critical for regional infrastructure development.
Motor Vehicle & Logistics 🚗	Motor Vehicle (MV) and Technical Courses	High demand for Vehicle Maintenance Technicians, Mechanics, and Service Advisers to support the region’s large logistics, transport, and agricultural fleets, as well as general vehicle repair shops.
Agri-Food & Manufacturing 🍎	Level 2/3 Technical Courses	Food Production managers, Quality Control technicians, Specialist Engineers, and supply chain coordinators. The National Centre for Food Manufacturing in Holbeach drives this high-skill demand.
Health & Social Care ⚕️	T-Level Health / T-Level Education & Childcare	High demand for Nurses, Carers, Support Workers, and Early Years Educators.
Digital & Professional Services 💻	T-Level Digital Support Services / T-Level Business	Growing opportunities in IT support, data analysis, administration, and business management across all sectors.

The fact that our Vocational Qualifications (Voc Quals)—including specialist trades like Motor Vehicle alongside Plumbing and Electrical—directly link to industry ensures that students gain the specific, practical skills and knowledge demanded by local employers.
