remove Visa sponsorship screening criterion for job seekers with graduate visa
The parliament should implement a law that will stop employers from using future visa sponsorship as an employment screening criterium for job seekers with Graduate Visa.
Equal Opportunities for All: Candidates should be judged based on merit rather than their immigration status.
Economic Growth and Innovation: Restricting job opportunities based on graduate visas, limits the UK's ability to retain highly skilled individuals who can drive progress across various sectors of the economy.
Diverse Workforce Benefits: By eliminating visa sponsorship for skilled graduates, we encourage diversity in workplaces which ultimately leads to enhanced productivity and competitiveness.
International Student Contributions: These graduates bring fresh perspectives, cultural diversity, and global networks benefiting companies seeking expansion.
Global Talent Retention: Removing the visa sponsorship challenge will help retain valuable talent trained in the UK.
