These sectors are education, medical and health care and some parts of social work and engineering as well.
In order for you to be eligible you need to have an employer in the UK who is willing to go ahead and sponsor you. This is similar to when you are applying for visas under tier 3,4 and 5. The initiative for this kind of visa needs to be taken by the UK employer and therefore, they will have to meet certain criteria. They will have to get registered, get a license.
This visa requires them to get points 70 for being eligible. Another important criterion is for them to have to prove their English language proficiency. They should also have enough bank balance to be able to prove that they will be able to maintain themselves as soon as they land in the UK.
The benefit of this visa is that it is a gateway for you to be able to apply for permanent residency in the UK. You can apply for this after living for five years in the UK.
