answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2021 answer text <p>The Skilled Worker route already contains several eligible occupations from this sector, such as weavers, upholsterers, tailors and dressmakers subject to salary and language requirements being met. An occupation at RQF3 or above does not need to be on the Shortage Occupation List to qualify for recruitment under the Skilled Worker Route.</p><p>In their last call for evidence the independent Migration Advisory Committee received evidence from several stakeholders from the garment industry, but they concluded this evidence did not warrant occupations from this sector being added onto the SOL. We will also not be creating more general routes allowing recruitment at or near the minimum wage into this sector via immigration as an alternative to investing in UK based staff and offering them rewarding packages of terms and conditions.</p><p>More generally those business facing recruitment issues should, in the first instance, engage with the Department for Work and Pensions about the support they can offer in seeking recruits and supporting training.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 22/10/2021 16:37:36 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster previous answer version 26365 answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
