Citizens from Dependent Territories will still be covered
by the Work Permit Scheme, which allows non-EC nationals to
be employed here if they have high level skills that are in
short supply, are participating in an intra-Company move or
meet other important labour market needs. They will also
be eligible for consideration for permits under my
Department's Training and Work Experience Scheme."
