Recruitment workshops: Expert advice on overseas staffing

Cumbria Tourism is working with The Home Office on two events to help tourism businesses and partners better understand the Future Borders and Immigration System.

These are vital sessions for anyone looking to overcome recruitment challenges and maximise staff from overseas. They aim to help you make the most of government support, reduce the money you’re spending on recruitment agencies and recruit/retain loyal overseas workers.
 
Wednesday 19 April:
10am-Midday
The Ro Hotel, Bowness-on-Windermere
 
Thursday 20 April:
2pm-4pm
The George Hotel, Penrith
 
Each will include an introduction to the recently introduced points-based immigration system, which has transformed the way people come to the UK to work and study.  
 
They will also be a chance to find out more about the new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme, which will apply to those passengers visiting the UK - or transiting the UK - who do not need a visa for short stays.
 
Each session will cover:

• An introduction to the points-based immigration system
• The skilled worker visa
• How to become a Home Office sponsor
• Student visas
• Visit visas
• Right to Work checks
• What support is available
• Q&A with policy officials

There will be plenty of opportunity for a Q&A and 1-2-1 discussions with Home Office officials.
