The Government maintains a Shortage Occupation List, based on expert advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee. The list comprises skilled jobs, including public sector roles, where there is an identified national shortage. Jobs on the list are given priority when allocating places within the Tier 2 immigration limit.
