List of Approved Companies for Sponsored Jobs in the UK.
The United Kingdom government has taken a bold step towards facilitating the entry of skilled workers from Nigeria by releasing an updated list of licensed companies eligible to sponsor work visas. This move aims to enhance collaboration and meet the demand for skilled professionals in various sectors.
Increased Opportunities
As of January 12, 2024, the list now includes a total of 99,856 approved companies—an impressive surge from the 68,630 recorded in January 2023. This substantial increase shows the UK’s commitment to attracting global talent, particularly from countries like Nigeria.
Diverse Sectors Represented
The approved companies span a wide array of industries, including technology, commerce, education, media and advertisement, and engineering. This diversification shows UK’s recognition of the need for skilled workers across multiple sectors to contribute to the country’s growth and development.
Skilled Worker Route Overview
The skilled worker route accommodates various professionals, such as charity workers, skilled workers, creative workers, those in global business mobility, senior or specialist workers, and international sportspersons. This broad categorization ensures that different skill sets find a place in the UK job market.
Guidance for Job Seekers
To benefit from this opportunity, job seekers are encouraged to visit the official websites of the approved companies and explore available vacancies. Dipo Awojide, founder of BTDT Hub in the UK, offers valuable insights for those seeking employment abroad. He emphasizes the importance of self-analysis, identifying career goals, and exploring industry-specific opportunities.
Navigating the Job Search
Awojide recommends utilizing various job search platforms, including GOV.UK, Total Jobs, Indeed, CV Library, Hays UK, Randstad, Reed, Monster, LinkedIn, JobServe, Townhall, and local recruitment agencies. Staying informed about companies actively recruiting international talent is crucial for a successful job search.
Visa Application Fee Update
It’s important to note recent changes in visa application fees for Nigerians. The UK Home Office has announced an increase, with a visit visa for less than six months now costing £115 (approximately N106,922). This adjustment, a 15% increment from the previous £100 (N92,970), emphasizes the evolving landscape of international travel regulations.
