<p>The Home Office published ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/analysis-of-migrants-use-of-the-graduate-route"
target="_blank">Analysis of migrants use of the Graduate route</a>’. The report shows
the proportion of student visa holders who were subsequently granted a work visa after
their studies, and those who left the Graduate route and went into work (including
those who were granted a Health & Care visa).</p><p>The report shows that, of
the 25,469 people whose Graduate visas had expired by the end of 2023, 46% had switched
to a work visa (9% of the total switched to the Health & Care route). In addition,
based on matching Home Office visa records with HMRC income data, of Graduate visa
holders who earned in at least one month during the financial year ending 2023 (including
those who worked across the full year), 16% worked in the Health and Social Care work
sector.</p><p>The report does not look at specific occupations Student or Graduate
visa holders held, or the number of students who extended into the Health & Care
route. This information is not currently published by the Home Office.</p>
