The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) has outlined plans to implement a common application process. Connexions direct includes a wide range of career related information and an online help service.

The Connexions Direct website is a dedicated resource for young people. It includes a wide range of career related information and an online help service.

If your students are interested in a particular employment sector, local labour market information (LMI) can help them find out about what is available in their area. LMI can be used to develop project work linked to other courses.

There are several sources of LMI which can be used for research:

• Connexions
• Your school library
• Local councils
• Regional development agencies
  
• Government offices
  
• Chambers of commerce
• The national guidance research forum
  
• Official labour market statistics from nomis
• The Alliance of Sector Skills Councils
• Skills for Business
