Alumni Stories

I left Stocky and studied Biology at the University of Kent. I went on to complete my masters and then moved abroad to work for the Department of Defence in Maryland, USA. I have an interest in immunology and work within the field of neutrophil biology. I have completed my PhD and now work as a research associate at the University of Bristol. My main focus is bowel cancer but recently my department has been working alongside research professionals and the NHS in the Covid-19 emergency.

LMI and Skills

Labour Market Information (LMI) can provide us with insights into different jobs and opportunities, telling us what is available now or predicted to be in the future. Therefore, it is a fundamentally important tool when researching potential career pathways.

It can be gathered from a wide array of sources from websites run by government funded organisations, to adverts for job vacancies in local papers and online. Even sources such as conversations with friends and family can give us information on who maybe recruiting locally.

Be informed

When researching the labour market, it is important to try and use more than one source of information to get the best view as possible. Using more than one source of data increases the odds of accurate outcomes.
