Employment in UK
TWES 'Training and Work Experience Scheme"
which initiated in 1999. It states that if an
international student (Non - European) is able
to find job relevant to his field of study in
the UK with a British - based employer, that student
can stay on and work full time through this particular
scheme for a maximum period of 2 years. Only an
employer based in UK can apply for a TWES permit.
Recruitment or employment agencies and other similar
business cannot apply for a the TWES permit. TWES
permits are normally issued for a person to do
work based training for a professional or specialist
qualification. TWES permits are only approved
on the clear understanding that the person intends
to return overseas at the end of the agreed period.
IGS "International Graduate Scheme"
will enable international students who have acquired
a bachelor degree or higher qualification in any
subject from a recognized UK higher education
institution to be able to apply to stay on to
work in the UK for up to one year. It will be
a transitional route from studying in the UK into
skilled work. Extensions of the leave in the category
will not be permitted and it will itself be a
route to settlement.
HSMP
"Highly Skilled Migrants Programme"
A small minority of students will be able to apply
under this scheme. the programme is designed for
all individuals with exceptional personal skills
and experience to seek and undertake work in the
UK without a work permit. You must achieve 65
points under the criteria of the scheme to qualify
and you can selfassess your score before you apply.
Although you must show the efforts you have made
so far in finding work, you need not necessarily
have a job offer.
The ares where one can earn points
are in the educational background and qualifications,
graduate or specialist level work experience and
past earnings. There is a 10 points allowance
for an application with a partner who has a separate
criterion for work experience and past earnings
to the standard assessment and an age allowance
of 5 points. Extendes. for more details log on
