Does The Irish News sponsor work visas? Yes. The Irish News holds a A rating sponsor licence covering Skilled Worker. Holding a licence means it can sponsor eligible roles; whether a specific job qualifies still depends on the role's SOC code and salary.
What does a A rating licence mean? An A rating is the standard, fully-active rating on the register: the sponsor can assign Certificates of Sponsorship to eligible workers. Most licensed sponsors are A-rated.
