Background
We urge the Government to remove IT and related roles eligibility for the skilled worker visa to prioritize employment opportunities for UK-based IT professionals.
Additional details
We think skilled IT professionals in the UK may be struggling to find employment. We think continuing to list IT roles as shortage occupations undermines local talent and does not reflect the current job market.
