As from 1st September 2002, all IT work permit applications must show that the job has been advertised in either a national newspaper or a relevant trade journal.
On 21st August 2002, the Home Office considered the current state of the IT labour market. As a result, it was decided that all occupations should be removed from the Work Permits (UK) IT shortage occupation list, and as such, there will no longer be a shortage list for the IT Sector.
The state of the labour market will be reviewed again by the Home Office in around three months time.
