The foundational data of LMI are the CIP codes (Classification of Instructional Programs), SOC codes (Standard Occupational Codes), NAICS codes (North American Industry Classification System) [SIC codes (Standard Industrial Classification)], and Career Clusters [Perkins V]. These crosswalks are available below.

All of the crosswalks share a "many-to-many" relationship, and they work in both directions, for example from one CIP to many SOC and many SOC to many CIP . This structure makes the data and reporting both flexible yet at the same time challenging. The nuances found within the data mean that care and understanding must be used when we develop the reports and research to support the alignment of college instructional programs with local and regional labor market needs. We work closely with instructional leaders to ensure the reports and research will be useful for instructional planning, program review, and other activities.

The LMI Institute provides a table that lists a broad set of possible Public and Private LMI sources and information related to those data sources. Some of these sources are shared below.
