The Home Office has revealed new opportunities for skilled access to the UK

The UK Skills Office recently updated its skills shortage list with opportunities in engineering, project management and healthcare, amongst the current options. According to 1st Contact, this expansion of industry categories will afford individuals a wider range of opportunities to take advantage of.

An extensive listing of professions related to audio and visual operations and photography have also emerged on the list.

Chemical engineering is the only category at present in which “all manner” of jobs for skilled professionals is on offer.

As expected many of the skills sought are highly technical, though opportunities for chefs, cooks, care assistant and butlers remain relatively strong.

Social work and the arts are also sectors where some opportunities exist though for the latter category, some certifications from UK-based agencies, like the Arts Councils, are required.

Opportunities in manufacturing, albeit with a heavy on engineering, are also listed.
