Better decisions based on sound intelligence

Plantagenet Consulting Ltd

Local population variations and quirks can give small areas a unique labour market

Understanding your population of interest

Understanding the characteristics of the labour market, be it for a specific location or area, or for a specific sector, is important for many fields—education and vocational training provision, inward investment, community development and local economic development.  We are highly skilled in accessing and interpreting labour market intelligence and learner participation data, and developing that into something you can actually use in your day to day work.  We are experienced NOMIS users and are also registered with the Information Commissioner for accessing learner data (registration number available on request).

· Extensive knowledge of standard data sources

· Experienced user of LSC ILR anonymised data

· Sector specific knowledge and expertise including ICT, Energy and Utilities, Logistics, Food and Drink Manufacturing, Retail, Passenger Transport

· Expert knowledge of the National Employer Skills Survey and Working Futures

Understanding the economy of an area and travel to work patterns is important when looking at options for training local unemployed people.  If there is no call for secretaries and administrators, but a need for customer service and retail skills in the local economy, this should inform what is offered.  Similarly, if any learning is unwelcome, find a way to stimulate interest in it through other routes, like making cards or cleaning up a park.
