TWES "Training and Work
Experience Scheme" which was initiated in 1999. It
states that if an international student (Non - European)
is able to find a job relevant to his field of study in
the UK with a British - based employer, that student can
stay on and work full time through this particular scheme
for a maximum period of 2 years. Only an employer based in
UK can apply for a TWES permit. Recruitment or employment
agencies and other similar businesses cannot apply for the
TWES permit. TWES permits are normally issued for a person
to do work based training for a professional or specialist
qualification. TWES permits are only approved on the clear
understanding that the person intends to return overseas
at the end of the agreed period.
IGS "International
Graduate Scheme" will enable international students
who have acquired a bachelor degree or higher
qualification in any subject from a recognized UK higher
education institution to be able to apply to stay on to
work in the UK for up to one year.
It will be a transitional route from studying in the UK
into skilled work. Extensions of the leave in the category
will not be permitted and it will itself be a route to
settlement.

"HIGHLY SKILLED MIGRANTS PROGRAMME" A small minority
of students will be able to apply under this scheme. The
programme is designed for all individuals with exceptional
personal skills and experience to seek and undertake work
in the UK without a Work Permit. You must achieve 65
points under the criteria of the scheme to qualify and you
can selfassess your score before you apply. Although you
must show the efforts you have made so far in finding
work, you need not necessarily have a job offer.
The areas where one can earn points are in the educational
background and qualifications, graduate or specialist
level work experience and past earnings. There is a
10-points allowance for an application with a partner who
has a degree or has previously been employed in a graduate
level job.
If you are under 28 years old, there is a separate
criterion for work experience and past earnings to the
standard assessment and an age allowance of 5 points.
