<p>As set out in the White Paper, ‘The UK’s future skills-based immigration system’,
we propose to define high, medium and lower skilled occupation by referring to the
national Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) levels. High-skilled roles require
skills at degree level or above (RQF 6 and above); medium-skilled require skills between
A-Level and Foundation Degree, or equivalent (RQF 3-5) and lower-skilled roles include
those at GCSE level or below (below RQF 3).</p><p>Occupations falling into each of
these skill levels will be set out in codes of practice. The existing codes of practice
for our current main immigration work route under Tier 2 can be found at Appendix
J of the published immigration rules, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-j-codes-of-practice-for-skilled-work"
