Abstract	The use of up-to-date labor market information (LMI) provided by a variety of state, federal, and local agencies and organizations can help program planners and policy makers design effective career and technical education (CTE) programs to prepare students for occupations and careers in demand. LMI includes information about labor market conditions, employment trends, earnings in occupations, skill requirements, and education and training resources that offers insights about economic trends that have implications for employment. CTE program planners can use such LMI to ensure that they accomplish the following: develop occupational standards that reflect changing socioeconomic demands; ensure that CTE programs contain current and relevant workplace information; and facilitate individual career decision making. Four ways that program planners can use LMI to coordinate services, be cost effective, meet quality requirements, and show evidence of success are as follows: link academic and occupational skills standards to career development; use multiple sources of LMI; refer students to high-quality information resources; and link career information with assessment tools.
