Skills shortages
information for the UK
The UK is a big place. And in some
areas of work, there are big shortages which make seeking employment for
many, a chooser's market. The government compiles an approved list of
recognised skills shortage occupations and can be heard on a recorded
message.
Tel: +44 114 259 4074.
The list relates predominantly to:
Chartered Engineers, Medical Actuaries
and Civil Aviation Authority trained personnel are also included.
Because the list has been officially approved by Govt., it means UK
employers can apply to employ a skilled person from outside the country,
and obtain the preferred candidate a work permit. For those who are
unable to obtain a valid visa to work in the UK, and have a job which is
on the approved list, the opportunity to work here is a reality.
Because some shortages have reached
chronic numbers, in mid 2000 the Govt. announced changes to work permit
application rules which will facilitate speedier processing, and less
stringent requirements for employers.
Although not on the approved list, there are many more occupations that
are still in short supply and include: Teachers Secretaries &
Administrators Hotel & Catering staff For all who can meet skills
shortages, you can often earn more money, have more choice of jobs, and
most importantly have job interviews or even a job offer upon arrival,
are all a reality.
Contact recruitment companies in your sector through this site to
ascertain your opportunities to work, and keep up to date with quarterly
trends in the market. Remember that recruitment companies are not
experts on visa rules and regulations. It is advisable to seek
professional advice if applying for a work permit.
Further details about obtaining a work
permit can be viewed on the official website:
