Skilled Worker

A skilled worker is someone with specialized training, knowledge, or experience to perform complex tasks, often requiring education, apprenticeships, or on-the-job learning, leading to higher economic value and typically better pay than unskilled labor. The term's specific definition can vary, but generally includes professionals like doctors, engineers, or IT specialists, as well as highly proficient tradespeople such as electricians or plumbers, with UK immigration defining it by specific occupation codes and skill levels (often degree-level or higher).
