Labor market information (LMI) is a crucial component for states when designing, implementing, and updating high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) programs at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Labor market data should be used to justify the need for CTE pathways – to ensure that there are career opportunities with family-sustaining wages awaiting learners at the completion of those pathways and that employers will have a pipeline of qualified workers being prepared for their industries. States and regions can also use LMI to identify gaps in program offerings and focus on where programs should be started or expanded to meet industry demand and ensure that enough learners have access to those opportunities.
