Case Study: The Skills Network enriches learner outcomes with Lightcast labour market data

How LMI is helping the organisation fulfil its mission to enrich lives through learning

The Skills Network, a leading UK online training provider, sought to enrich lives through learning by making its offerings more aligned with real-world labour market needs. To achieve this, they required robust data to inform their strategy and support their learners. They utilized the Analyst tool and Labour Market Insight from vendor Lightcast to address this challenge.

Lightcast provided The Skills Network with access to billions of labour market datapoints. This data was used to enhance funding bids with evidence, create data-rich career sheets for over 1.6 million learners, and produce influential reports on skills trends. The solution proved invaluable, helping the organization support tendering activity, guide learners' career goals, and keep staff updated on key market issues like skills gaps.
