Don't have a Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence?
Don't let it be a barrier to hiring international students! SMEs without such a licence can also hire international students.
Graduates who hold an unsponsored Graduate Visa are eligible to work for any employer at any skills level, whether the employer has a Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence or not.
