Will the companies exhibiting take on people who need a work permit to work in the UK?
If you require permission to work in the UK, many employers will consider applying for a work permit. Insome circumstances, you may have permission to work already without needing a separate work permit (such as a department visa or Tier 1 Post Study Work)
It is important to seek professional advice at an early stage to ensure that you understand what options are available to you. This will help ensure that you get the right advice when you need it.
Our partners, PERMITS2WORK Ltd, will be attending each exhibition to provide advice to individuals on all work permit and related UK visa queries. For more information on current schemes and programmes that may apply to you please visit PERMITS2WORK's stand or see www.permits2work.co.uk.
