Here at XP Doncaster we work closely with the Careers & Enterprise Company who regularly update us with current labour market information (LMI). Labour market information can help students and parents understand the job market and find out which careers, different qualifications can lead to.
It makes clear where work opportunities are increasing or decreasing, what occupations exist, what you need to study to become a professional in that occupation, what is required to take up an occupation, how one can find a job, change job or progress in a career.
The following LMI information is the most up to date information for the local Doncaster & South Yorkshire area. This page is updated monthly. The following Information is taken from statistics from
December 2023.
